The GT Radial GT886 cargo tire is both versatile and has a narrow range of applications. The fact is that this model is designed for trucks and other cargo vehicles, which are operated both on regular asphalt roads and on dirt roads. Thanks to the use of a number of original technical solutions, Asian tire manufacturers have managed to give this tire good performance in a variety of conditions.
Original shoulder area design
Most of the tread area of this tire is occupied by the shoulder areas. To a large extent, their design is a compromise, as it provides the tire with various operational properties. In particular, their rigid construction, combined with massive sizes, optimizes the distribution of external pressure on the contact patch, preventing uneven wear, improving traction, and increasing carrying capacity. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the presence of numerous protrusions and recesses in this part of the tread. During movement, they perform the role of off-road hooks, ensuring reliable behavior when overcoming difficult sections.
Zigzag grooves in the center of the tread
Another non-trivial solution of the tread design is the structure of the central part. Here, three longitudinal drainage grooves of a zigzag shape are located. On the one hand, this solution provides the contact patch with additional traction edges, and on the other hand, it reduces noise and vibration loads when moving.
Main features of the GT Radial GT886 tire
- a wide range of applications, due to the possibility of installation on any axles and an original design that is equally well suited for operation on regular roads and outside of them;
- a reinforced shoulder area design with numerous recesses improves off-road capability, prevents uneven wear, increases carrying capacity, and traction.
