TREAD PATTERN DESCRIPTION  
New ring for the low profile series retreading of ultra-light tires used on trailers for long distance, mainly for the North-American market. Its pattern is characterized by four straight lengthwise grooves, which give directionality, sipes on the central blocks to favor heat dissipation and transversal carvings to increase grip.
 
APPLICATIONS  
Fitment to trailer axles on rigid and articulated vehicles in applications which include continuous high-speed work with low tread wear and in applications requiring considerable directional stability. Because of its characteristic of smooth running and resistance to heat build-up it is also suitable where mileage is consistent but even tread wear and fuel saving are important.
 
USE CONDITIONS  
Use on long distance hauls (smooth roads: motorways or national and international highways).
 
RANGE OF SIZES AVAILABLE
Tread pattern available in RINGTREAD rings for retreading of the low profile series 295/75-22.5, 11-22.5 and 285/75-24.5. The same pattern, with some differences as to the groove number, is available also in WINGTREAD profiled precured strip for the retreading of all 80-series tyres (tread width 240 mm) and super single (tread width from 295 to 360 mm).
CHARACTERISTICS ADVANTAGES
Circumferential straight grooves Good directional stability, smooth running, low noise level and fuel saving
Lengthwise sipes Better heat dissipation and reduced tread wear
Shoulder patterns Sufficient grip and traction even on slippery surfaces
Tread compound with rapid heat dissipation Reduced tread wear
Reduced tread depth Rapid heat dissipation, excellent operating costs
Light tread Suitable for second life retreads and lower grade casings
