Description Kapsen S16
The Kapsen S16 commercial tire is a versatile model that can be used on both steering and trailer axles of large-capacity trucks. It is characterized by increased load-carrying capacity, reduced rolling resistance, wear resistance, and reliable traction on both dry and wet surfaces.
The tread pattern is notable for the reduced number of longitudinal ribs, which has been decreased to four. This allowed making the elements more massive, which has a positive effect on wear resistance and traction properties. These features are enhanced by the optimized tread profile, which increases the contact patch and provides a more even distribution of pressure on the road surface. The central pair of ribs contains lamellas that improve braking properties on wet surfaces. At the same time, the increased volume of longitudinal grooves makes it possible to avoid aquaplaning at almost any speed.
Key features of Kapsen S16
- the reduced number of ribs and optimized tread profile increase the tire's wear resistance, improve traction properties;
- a special compound increases the tire's mileage due to its high resistance to abrasive wear, punctures, and cuts;
- the all-steel carcass increases the load-carrying capacity, reduces rolling resistance, and allows for the restoration of the tread pattern after it has been completely worn out.
