The scope of application of the commercial tire Hankook DL22 is the leading axle of buses used in intercity transportation. It demonstrates the greatest efficiency on high-speed highways. In such conditions, it is characterized by a comfortable, soft and quiet ride, fuel efficiency, and good traction properties.
The tread pattern is V-shaped. Its central part contains a large number of blocks, the shape and arrangement of which allow them to self-lock by relying on each other. This solution increases directional stability, reduces wear and rolling resistance. In the blocks throughout the tread, there are wedge-shaped 3D lamellas. They additionally strengthen the traction and coupling properties on slippery surfaces. Between the shoulder blocks, there are special bridges that limit the mobility of the elements. This increases longitudinal adhesion and prevents uneven wear.
Key features of Hankook DL22
- self-locking blocks in the central part increase directional stability, give the tire a soft ride, reduce wear and rolling resistance;
- wedge-shaped 3D lamellas throughout the tread increase traction and coupling properties on slippery surfaces;
- rigid "bridges" between the shoulder blocks increase longitudinal adhesion, reduce uneven wear.
