The commercial tire Nokian NTR74S is recommended for use on trailer axles of large-capacity trucks. It demonstrates its highest efficiency in long-haul transportation. It reduces operating costs due to the longevity of its service life, reliability, and reduced rolling resistance.
The tread pattern of the tread is made practically flat. Together with the design of the shoulder ribs, this increases the contact patch, giving it a rectangular shape. This solution effectively prevents uneven wear and gives reliability to the traction properties. It is worth noting the presence of numerous slits on the outer edges of the shoulder ribs. These elements additionally increase the mileage of the tread. The ribs in the central part contain longitudinal wavy lamellas and straight transverse ones. With their help, high efficiency is achieved when braking on a wet surface.
The drainage grooves, due to their design, have expanded functionality. The zigzag shape of these elements increases directional stability and prevents stones from getting stuck in the tread. To push them out, there are special protrusions on the bottom of the grooves, which increases the reliability of the tire on bad roads.
Main features:
- an optimized tread profile improves traction and its stability, slows down wear;
- slits on the outer edges of the shoulder ribs reduce noise and uneven wear;
- increased size and solid construction of the shoulder areas increase directional stability, reduce wear and fuel consumption;
- drainage grooves with a wavy shape and special protrusions on the bottom improve directional stability and reduce the risk of damage from stones stuck in the tread.
