The HS928 truck tire, designed for the drive axles of highway tractors, boasts a range of advantages, with an attractive price being not the top priority. Firstly, this model is distinguished by excellent traction and coupling characteristics and a very long service life, even in the most unfavorable operating conditions. This tire was developed specifically for roads of not very good quality, which explains the presence of a number of features, which will be discussed below.
Reinforced carcass
One of the key features of this model, which makes it suitable for operation on poor-quality roads, is the all-steel cord. Its presence not only gave the Kapsen HS928 tire increased strength and carrying capacity but also led to a significant improvement in a number of other important operational qualities. Firstly, this is reduced rolling resistance, which was achieved by increasing the tire's resistance to dynamic deformation.
Block design of the tread pattern
The fact that this model is designed for operation on the drive axle of trucks can be guessed by the design of its tread pattern. It is distinguished by openness, expressed in the presence of a large number of rectangular blocks. To improve directional stability and reduce rolling resistance, they were installed parallel to the direction of movement, forming six longitudinal ribs at the same time.
Optimized distribution of external pressure on the contact patch
In the development of this model, much attention was paid to ensuring maximum carrying capacity and resistance to uneven wear. One of the ways to solve this problem was the numerous cross-shaped and T-shaped lamellas cut into each of the tread blocks throughout its depth. When in contact with the road surface, these elements literally spread the blocks, thereby increasing the size of the contact patch and improving the evenness of the external pressure distribution over it. Additionally, the lamellas, when opened, form a multitude of additional gripping edges, which had a very positive impact on handling.
Key features of Kapsen HS928
- excellent reliability, high carrying capacity due to a robust carcass based on an all-steel cord, which also improves a number of other operational qualities of the tire, primarily rolling resistance;
- excellent traction and coupling characteristics, high resistance to aquaplaning thanks to the open design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern, which contains a large number of individual elements;
- good directional stability is ensured by the six longitudinal ribs, as well as the rectangular blocks arranged parallel to the direction of movement.
