The Kapsen HS716 truck tire was specifically designed for use on the drive axles of long-haul tractors. This model is characterized by excellent longitudinal traction properties, low rolling resistance, and a long service life, which, combined with an attractive price, makes its purchase even more economically advantageous.
Wide central rib
One of the main features of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern of this model is the design of the central part. Here is a very wide longitudinal rib, composed of many closely spaced blocks. This design gives the Kapsen HS716 tire a whole range of important qualities that have been achieved without compromising other operational characteristics. First of all, this is low rolling resistance, which provides excellent fuel economy. Additionally, it is worth noting the improved directional stability, which has given the tire stability when driving at high speeds.
Excellent longitudinal traction characteristics
Since this model was initially developed exclusively for operation on the driving axle of a truck, it is not surprising that during its development, much attention was paid to ensuring maximum traction properties in the longitudinal direction. To this end, Chinese tire manufacturers have equipped the shoulder areas of the tread with a large number of double blocks. During movement, these tread elements form a multitude of engagement edges. In addition to their transverse arrangement, they are distinguished by a significant length, which significantly improves the longitudinal traction properties.
Long service life
Another operational aspect that was given special attention during the development of this tire is its service life. It is distinguished by its duration, thanks to a number of design features. The main one is the rubber compound, or rather its composition, which includes special components that have improved the tread's resistance to abrasive wear, as well as punctures and cuts.
In this regard, it is impossible not to note the shape, size, and arrangement of the tread elements. Thanks to this, the optimal distribution of external pressure over the contact patch is ensured, which, in turn, allowed for a significant improvement not only in load capacity but also in tread resistance to uneven wear.
Main features of the Kapsen HS716 tire
- the tire was specifically designed for the drive axle of long-haul tractors, taking into account the features of their operation;
- the open design of the shoulder areas, containing a large number of very long transverse engagement edges, ensures the effective realization of the traction of powerful diesel engines in any road and weather conditions;
- the wide central longitudinal rib reduces rolling resistance, while improving directional stability;
- the rubber compound, resistant to abrasive wear, punctures, and cuts, as well as the design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern, which optimizes the distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, provide a very long service life.
