The cargo tire GR Radial GT879F was specially designed for use on the steering axle of trucks used in interregional transportation. It is distinguished by its excellent suitability for long-term movement at high speeds over long distances. This is expressed in excellent traction under any road conditions, high wear resistance and strength, as well as low rolling resistance, which significantly reduces the operating costs of cargo vehicles.
Excellent carrying capacity
Among the many advantageous features of this model, one cannot fail to mention the quite high carrying capacity indicators. This is largely due to the carcass, the basis of which is a all-steel cord, as well as the presence of a number of additional layers, including a breaker also made of steel wires. The multi-layer structure made of high-quality and very durable materials provides the tire with excellent strength and reliability when transporting heavy loads. Additionally, one cannot fail to mention the high resistance of the carcass to dynamic deformation, which, in turn, makes handling more stable and predictable, and also reduces rolling resistance.
Another factor that determines the high carrying capacity is the tread pattern, or rather the design of its shoulder areas. They are distinguished by massive sizes and very high resistance to deformation. Due to this, the evenness of the distribution of external pressure on the contact patch is improved, which, in turn, not only increases the carrying capacity but also extends the service life due to the increased resistance of the tread to uneven wear.
Main features of the GT Radial GT879F tire
- the tire is designed for the steering axle of trucks;
- short braking distance due to numerous traction edges located in the central part of the tread;
- low rolling resistance is ensured by the reduced number of separate tread elements and their high structural stiffness;
- reinforced shoulder areas increase the carrying capacity and improve handling;
- long service life due to high resistance to uneven wear and increased tread pattern depth.
