The freight tire Matador FR1 Goliath is designed for installation on the steering axle of trucks used for transportation over short and medium distances on roads with a large elevation difference and numerous turns. This model is offered by the manufacturer in three sizes for wheels with a mounting diameter of 20 inches.
Two-layer tread
One of the characteristic features of this tire is a tread made of two compounds of rubber mixture. The outer layer has increased wear resistance, providing reliable and stable traction regardless of the road surface characteristics. In turn, the inner layer has increased resistance to thermal effects, protecting the tire from overheating that occurs when driving at high speeds.
Robust carcass
It is also worth noting the multi-layer construction of the carcass, which gave it extraordinary strength and resistance to aggressive influences. In particular, it has a double metal cord, which allowed the tire to perfectly withstand high loads.
Reinforced shoulder areas of the tread
The structure of the shoulder areas of the tread is one of the most distinctive features of this model. They are represented by two very rigid elements that provided the tire not only with excellent directional stability but also with high maneuverability. In addition, such a design of the shoulder areas made it possible to achieve a more even distribution of external pressure across the contact patch, which guaranteed an increase in the tread's resistance to uneven wear.
Key features of Matador FR1 Goliath
- The equal size of all four longitudinal ribs ensures a practically rectangular shape of the contact patch with an even distribution of external pressure across it, which reduces the likelihood of uneven wear;
- The solid and very rigid design of the shoulder areas of the tread allows the tire to demonstrate not only excellent directional stability but also fast response time to steering wheel turns;
- The two central ribs contain a large number of individual blocks that form numerous traction edges;
- Low noise level, thanks to the variable pitch arrangement of the tread blocks, as well as their wavy edges and rounded corners;
- Excellent resistance to aquaplaning is provided by the large volume of three longitudinal drainage grooves.
