Kapsen HS102 11x20 157/153L (Ведущая ось)

The Kapsen HS102 truck tire was specifically designed for use on the drive axles of trucks. This model is distinguished by its excellent longitudinal traction and grip characteristics, excellent performance on highways, low rolling resistance, and a very long service life. Combined with an attractive price, this makes it an extremely attractive purchase.

Tread pattern with an increased number of gripping edges

One of the characteristic features of this model is its symmetrical non-directional tread pattern. Its design is open, with a large number of individual tread elements that form a multitude of gripping edges during movement. A significant part of them is located transversely to the direction of movement, which provides this tire with excellent longitudinal traction and grip properties.

6 longitudinal ribs

As mentioned earlier, the tread pattern of this model contains a large number of individual blocks. They are distinguished by a rectangular shape, longitudinal arrangement, and a scheme of arrangement that forms six longitudinal ribs. Such a design provides the tire with several advantages at once. First of all, it is good directional stability, as well as reduced rolling resistance, achieved due to the arrangement of blocks parallel to the direction of movement.

Low noise and vibration level

Despite the presence of a large number of individual elements, this model is distinguished by a decent level of acoustic comfort. This was achieved due to the multi-step arrangement of tread blocks, which, in turn, made it possible to minimize the likelihood of occurrence and development of resonant noise and vibrations.

Excellent grip on wet road

Another significant advantage of the open design of the tread pattern of this model should be recognized as improved grip on wet roads. They are provided due to the presence of a very developed drainage system, consisting of five longitudinal grooves connected to each other by a multitude of transverse channels. Such a configuration provides very fast removal of almost any amount of water from the contact patch, which, in turn, provides the tire with excellent resistance to aquaplaning.

Main advantages of the Kapsen HS102 tire

- the tire was designed for operation on the driving axle of a truck;
- six longitudinal ribs formed from longitudinally arranged rectangular tread blocks provide excellent directional stability and low rolling resistance;
- optimized distribution of external pressure over the contact patch increases the carrying capacity, extends the service life of the tread, and improves handling on dry roads;
- excellent longitudinal traction and grip characteristics due to the increased number of transverse gripping edges;
- special lamellas cut into the tread blocks increase the size of the contact patch, optimize the distribution of external pressure over it, and also give the tire a soft ride;
- reliable grip on wet roads is provided due to a very efficient drainage system consisting of a multitude of longitudinal and transverse grooves.
