The commercial tire Hankook AU03+ is designed for buses, where it is installed on the steering axle. It is equally well suited for both urban and regional transportation. It improves steering accuracy, has a large mileage and improved traction on slippery surfaces.
The tread pattern features a small width of drainage grooves. This allowed to enlarge the longitudinal ribs, thereby increasing the contact patch. As a result, traction on dry surfaces has improved. The monolithic structure of the ribs increases its stability, as well as prevents uneven wear and reduces rolling resistance. The central part contains a large number of lamellas. Their arcuate shape and inclination increase the length of the edges formed by them, which additionally enhances their effectiveness on wet surfaces when braking.
Key features:
- installed on the steering axle of buses;
- enlarged ribs improve traction and stability on dry surfaces, improve steering accuracy;
- rigid shoulder areas prevent uneven wear, improve directional stability, reduce rolling resistance;
- arcuate lamellas reduce the length of the braking distance.
