The Compasal CPD81 truck tire is designed for installation on the drive axle. It is offered by an Asian manufacturer in a large number of sizes for such products — 19 options for wheels with a seat diameter from 17.5 to 22.5 inches. This range allows the tire to be used on both long-haul tractors and trucks used in regional transportation. Tires of all sizes have the M+S marking, which ensures the possibility of operation throughout the year.
Tread with massive blocks
The tire is equipped with a tread with an open design. It is distinguished by the presence of a large number of blocks. Each of these elements has massive dimensions, a rectangular shape, and a longitudinal arrangement. This design provides the tire with several important advantages. The most obvious of these is the high efficiency of the tread when accelerating longitudinally. This feature is best demonstrated on road surfaces with a low coefficient of friction.
Z-shaped grooves
Each of the tread blocks has one narrow groove. These elements, when in contact with the road surface, form numerous edges, the height and sharpness of which allow the tire to demonstrate confident behavior in difficult conditions. The grooves have a Z-shaped shape. It provides a contact patch with bidirectional gripping edges, which further increases the efficiency of the tread on slippery surfaces. In addition, this solution limits the mobility of the blocks, which improves handling and stability of the gripping properties.
Increased tread width
A distinctive feature of the tire is also the optimized tread profile shape. It is selected taking into account the stiffness of the carcass so that when moving under the weight of the vehicle, it provides the maximum size of the contact patch. It has an increased width. On the one hand, this improves the gripping properties, and on the other hand, it reduces wear due to the optimization of the weight distribution of the vehicle on the contact surface.
