The all-season tire Long March LM117 has proven itself well when used on any trucks. To achieve high operational parameters, the latest materials and technologies were used. As a result of thorough quality control, the possibility of a defective batch reaching the consumer is excluded, while the tire fully meets all declared characteristics.
Improved water drainage system
Any all-season tire should have an efficient drainage system, in this model, the water drainage system consists of four large and many small channels. The massive channels quickly remove snow, water, and dirt from the tread, increasing traction with any road surface. The smaller channels serve to reduce the sound effect and create a "sticking" effect on wet and icy surfaces.
Modified rubber compound
An all-season tire should have excellent elasticity at any temperature fluctuations. To achieve this, a new rubber compound was used. Silica helped to achieve the necessary elasticity, as a result, the tread has increased traction with different road surfaces, has accelerated recovery properties, and creates minimal stress on the suspension elements. To improve wear-resistant properties, silicon was used, so the tire has an increased mileage. The new rubber compound also has good heat resistance and improves speed and braking parameters. Due to the reduction of the rolling resistance coefficient, it was possible to reduce fuel consumption while driving and increase stability when moving at high speeds.
To prevent frequent side damage, the shoulder area is made of a thicker layer of rubber, which also contributed to increased stability during any maneuvers.
Main features of the Long March LM117 tire
- the updated water drainage system provides quick removal of water, snow, and dirt from the contact area, preventing possible aquaplaning;
- the improved rubber compound has increased traction parameters on any road surface, tire mileage, and improved speed and braking characteristics of the tread;
- the new shoulder design provides excellent stability during turns and prevents side punctures;
- the reduced rolling resistance coefficient allowed to reduce fuel consumption while driving.
