MAXXIS Trailermaxx CR-966 Tyre 225/55 R12C 104N

Product detailed description

The MAXXIS Trailermaxx CR-966 225/55 R12C 104N is a reinforced radial tyre developed specifically for trailers and caravans carrying high loads. The Trailermaxx range is designed for the specific demands of trailer operation and combines high load capacity, stability and long service life.

MAXXIS is a global brand of Taiwanese tyre manufacturer Cheng Shin Rubber Industry Co., Ltd. Tyres from this manufacturer are distributed under the MAXXIS and Cheng Shin (CST) brands. Depending on the production series and market, the CR-966 may therefore be marked MAXXIS, Cheng Shin or simply CR966. This does not represent a takeover of MAXXIS by another manufacturer – Cheng Shin is the original Taiwanese manufacturer behind the MAXXIS brand.

Trailermaxx CR-966 tyres are also used as original equipment (OE) by trailer manufacturers. Their construction is designed to provide high load capacity and reliable performance even under heavy loads.

Technical specifications:

• tyre size: 225/55 R12C 104N
• load index: 104 – 900 kg

The CR-966 features a reinforced and durable construction designed for the high loads encountered in trailer operation. The specially designed tread provides efficient water evacuation from the tyre contact area and helps reduce the risk of aquaplaning on wet roads.

The 225/55 R12C size combines high load capacity with a relatively small overall wheel diameter. This is particularly advantageous for car transporters and low-deck trailers, where it helps maintain a low loading height while providing high tyre load capacity.

Load index 104 corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 900 kg per tyre. Speed rating N permits use at speeds of up to 140 km/h.

The tyre carries the M+S (Mud + Snow) marking. This indicates a tread pattern and tyre construction designed for use in more demanding road conditions. The M+S marking alone, however, is not equivalent to 3PMSF winter tyre certification (the Alpine symbol with a snowflake).

The 8PR (Ply Rating) designation indicates the strength and load class of the tyre construction. Historically, this figure referred to the number of carcass plies, but on modern tyres 8PR does not mean that the tyre physically contains eight plies. A higher PR rating indicates a construction designed for higher loads – on this tyre, load index 104 corresponds to a maximum load capacity of 900 kg per tyre.

The combination of 900 kg load capacity, a low 55 profile and a 12" rim diameter makes the Trailermaxx CR-966 particularly suitable for car transporters, flatbed trailers, tipper trailers, caravans and other cargo trailers requiring a high-quality and reliable tyre for demanding operation.
