The LingLong E4 truck tire belongs to the extremely rare category of models designed for operation on heavy quarry dump trucks. Its characteristic feature is very high load-carrying capacity, which, depending on the version, ranges from 42 to 200 tons. In addition, it is impossible not to note the very high level of reliability of this model, which is due to its very robust and resistant to any aggressive environmental impact design.
Rigid central part of the tread
The constructive tread pattern of this model contains several separate functional zones - central and two shoulder parts. Each of them, due to the tasks performed, has significant differences from each other. In particular, the central part of the tread pattern is characterized by a very rigid design, which is due to the absence of any separate elements in its composition. This design provides the LingLong E4 tire with a number of important advantages that significantly improve its operational characteristics.
First of all, this is a significant increase in the contact patch area, which had a very favorable effect on traction. In addition, it is impossible not to note the significant reduction in rolling resistance, which is due to the absence of any separate elements in the central part of the tread.
Powerful traction shoulders
In contrast to the central part, the shoulder zones of the tread contain a large number of separate elements. They are formed by numerous triangular grooves, thanks to which a large number of traction edges are created, helping the tire to demonstrate confident behavior when moving on sandy, rocky and earthy surfaces.
Main features of LingLong E4
- the tire is designed for quarry dump trucks with a payload of 42 to 200 tons;
- the rigid central part of the tread provides low rolling resistance, increases the contact patch area;
- numerous grooves in the shoulder zones of the tread pattern form a multitude of transverse edges, thanks to which the tire demonstrates excellent traction properties in the longitudinal direction;
- high load-carrying capacity is ensured by the reinforced carcass construction and the multi-radius tread profile, which optimizes the distribution of external weight over the contact patch.
