Description Giti GT867
The letter U in the name of the GT Radial GT867U truck tire stands for Urban. That is, this model is designed for commercial vehicles operated in urban environments. Another key feature of this tire is its versatility. Thanks to the original design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern, it can be installed on any axis of trucks and buses. Also, it is impossible not to notice the presence of the M+S marking on the sidewall, indicating the possibility of operation throughout the year, i.e., including in winter.
Universal tread pattern
A significant part of the advantages of this model is provided by the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern of the GT Radial GT867U, which has excellent performance, regardless of operating conditions. Its design features four longitudinal ribs separated by wide longitudinal grooves. At the same time, two of these tread elements form the central part, and the other two represent the shoulder zones. The key advantages of this design are excellent directional stability, low rolling resistance, and a contact patch that has not only significant dimensions but also a large number of traction edges.
Multiple lamellas
One of the main features of the tread pattern of this model is the increased content of traction edges. Almost all of them are formed by numerous S-shaped lamellas located on all four longitudinal ribs. During movement, these elements open up when contacting the road, forming multiple edges. At the same time, the wavy shape of the walls allows them to be tightly fixed to each other, which provides the ribs with increased stiffness, ensuring improved handling.
Main features of the GT Radial GT867U tire
- the tire was specifically designed for operation in urban environments;
- possibility of installation on any axis of trucks and buses;
- low rolling resistance and excellent stability at any speed due to the rigid construction of all longitudinal tread ribs;
- excellent traction properties in any road and weather conditions are provided by numerous multidirectionally arranged lamellas;
- the reinforced design of the shoulder zones increases the load capacity, protects the sidewalls from damage, and also increases the resistance of the tread to uneven wear.
