Description Durun YTH8
The Durun YTH8 truck tire is one of the most popular models from a well-known Chinese manufacturer, not only in our country. Its widespread use is due to its extremely attractive price-to-quality ratio. As for the technical details, this tire is designed for installation on the driving axles of trucks that operate on roads of various quality, including unpaved ones.
Universal tread pattern
This model was initially designed as a tire for "bad roads". That's why it was made as durable as possible, and its tread pattern is quite aggressive for a road tire. It features a multitude of massive blocks grouped into three longitudinal ribs located in the center, as well as two shoulder zones. Thanks to this arrangement, the Chinese tire manufacturers were able to give their development a sufficiently high level of directional stability. During movement, these blocks form multiple edges of adhesion, which provide excellent traction properties, both in the longitudinal and transverse directions.
Reinforced shoulder zone construction
The shoulder zones of the tread pattern of this Durun YTH8 tire have a slightly different structure than its central part. This is due to the functions they perform. First and foremost, it is ensuring maximum passability when overcoming difficult sections. That's why the blocks in the shoulder zones are distinguished by their great height, which allows them to perform the role of off-road grips.
In addition, the shoulder zones of the tread are characterized by increased strength and stiffness. Due to this, the specialists of the Chinese company were able to optimize the distribution of external weight across the contact patch, making it uniform. As a result, the tire has become more tolerant of carrying heavy loads and resistant to the development of uneven wear.
Main features of the Durun YTH8 tire
- the tire was initially created for operation on poor-quality roads;
- the symmetrical pattern is optimized for use on the driving axles of heavy-duty vehicles;
- numerous rectangular blocks provide excellent traction characteristics on surfaces with various adhesion characteristics;
- six longitudinal ribs, thanks to which the tire has excellent directional stability;
- high and massive blocks in the shoulder zones of the tread allow the tire to confidently move even on unpaved roads;
- high performance of the drainage system, thanks to numerous transverse and longitudinal channels and grooves;
- zigzag-shaped lamellas on the surface of the blocks provide additional adhesion on wet roads.
