Samson GL268D 11x22,5 146/143M

The Samson GL268D model demonstrates predictable handling and stable traction on any type of asphalt pavement. Particular attention is paid to fuel efficiency and minimized rolling resistance, making this commercial tire beneficial for intense operation.

Tread Geometry

The tread pattern is based on polygonal blocks with a hexagonal shape. Each block works as an independent traction element, creating multiple sharp edges. This has made it possible to achieve a shorter braking distance and confident traction.

Drainage System

Water evacuation channels are just part of the solution. The key feature is the built-in stone ejectors. These elements perform two functions:
- they expel small sharp fractions from the tread, preventing the expansion of channels and micro-cracks in the groove bottom;
- they maintain constant cleanliness of the contact area, which means that the traction properties do not degrade even after 40-50% tread wear.

As a result, the braking efficiency on a wet road remains at the level of new tires throughout the entire service life.

Reinforced Casing

The main enemy of a trailer tire is chaotic shape change under overload and dynamic impacts. The model features a multilayer casing made of high-strength synthetic cord with a variable thread pitch. This provides stability of geometry under load and suppression of vibrations. The casing layers work as a damping system, filtering high-frequency vibrations from the road. This reduces driver fatigue and decreases the load on the suspension.

Key Features of Samson GL268D:

- adapted for various types of cargo vehicles;
- the multi-block tread guarantees grip on wet and slippery asphalt due to multiple independent contact zones;
- reduced rolling resistance is achieved due to the optimized tread profile and special compound.
