The Hankook DH03 tire is designed for heavy-duty commercial vehicles and buses used in interregional transportation. It is installed on the drive axle. It is characterized by a long service life, stable traction properties on slippery surfaces, and reliability.
Long service life
The tread pattern of the tire features several solutions that significantly increase the lifespan of the tire. First and foremost, it is the increased width, which, in combination with the stiffness of the shoulder zones, optimizes the distribution of external load on the contact patch, preventing uneven wear. Additionally, the tread has an increased depth, which also has a positive effect on the lifespan, and also guarantees the success of tread pattern restoration using special procedures.
Z-shaped grooves
The central part of the tread features three Z-shaped drainage grooves. This solution provides the formation of multidirectional sharp edges in the contact patch, allowing the tire to demonstrate excellent traction properties on slippery surfaces.
Reliability
Each of the three drainage grooves has special rectangular-shaped protrusions. These elements prevent stones from getting stuck in the tread, pushing them out, which reduces the risk of mechanical damage to the tire.
Key features of Hankook DH03
- long service life due to a wide tread and stiff longitudinal ribs;
- Z-shaped grooves provide excellent longitudinal traction properties;
- increased reliability due to special protrusions in the grooves that prevent stones from getting stuck in the tread.
