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).
