A key feature of the LinLong LLA38 truck tire is its symmetrical non-directional tread pattern, which provides excellent operating characteristics, from low rolling resistance to high economic efficiency. In addition, the reinforced carcass design, based on a full-steel cord, provides this model with excellent reliability throughout its very long service life.
Massive central tread blocks
Unlike the shoulder zones, the central part of the tread, which also features longitudinal ribs, consists of a multitude of separate elements, namely blocks of complex configuration with smoothed corners. Notably, they have very massive dimensions, which provides the contact patch with a multitude of very long traction edges at any given time. This allows the tire to demonstrate reliable and very stable behavior even in the most unfavorable weather conditions.
Reinforced shoulder zone design
In turn, the shoulder zones do not contain any separate elements, featuring a solid and very rigid construction. This is due to the goals that this part of the tread is intended to achieve during movement. It involves maximizing the expansion of the contact patch, giving it a rectangular shape, which in turn leads to the optimization of the distribution of external pressure on the support surface and an increase in load capacity and resistance to uneven wear.
Main features of the LingLong LLA38 tire
- the tire is designed for operation on the driving axles of highway tractors and tourist-class buses;
- very high traction properties in the longitudinal direction due to the design of the central part of the tread pattern, which features a large number of separate blocks;
- excellent directional stability when moving at high speed is provided by five massive longitudinal ribs;
- the rigid construction of the shoulder zones reduces rolling resistance, increases load capacity and resistance to uneven wear, and improves traction due to the expansion of the contact patch area;
- a long service life due to the wear-resistant rubber compound and increased tread pattern depth.
