Apollo Hawkz A/T

The summer light truck tire Apollo Hawkz A/T is ideal for SUVs that are used for long trips on unpaved roads. This model is the perfect option for those who prefer to travel away from civilization. At the same time, it has a fairly high speed index S for this category of tires. This means that when necessary, the Apollo Hawkz A/T will not fail on the highway. The size range includes 6 types with a profile height of 70 and 75% for wheels with a mounting diameter of 15-17 inches, which assumes a fairly wide applicability of this tire.

Universal tread pattern

The tread pattern used in the Apollo Hawkz A/T tire is the result of computer modeling work, which successfully replaced millions of full-scale tests. Its key feature is the presence of a large number of individual blocks that form a multitude of sharp edges of adhesion. To make such a tread less noisy, an original 3-stage scheme for arranging the tread blocks was used. That is, the blocks are arranged with a different step relative to each other, which made it possible to minimize the possibility of resonant noise when driving.

Key features of the Apollo Hawkz A/T tire

- Unique 3-stage design of the tread pattern, developed with the help of computer modeling tools, provides a low noise level due to the arrangement of all elements with a different sequence;
- Excellent self-cleaning properties of the tread, which are largely ensured by the special shape of the tread blocks located in its shoulder areas;
- Even distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, increased resistance to punctures and cuts, thanks to a two-layer steel breaker and an additional layer of nylon fibers;
- A rigid central rib provides excellent directional stability, high maneuverability, and reduced rolling resistance;
- Four longitudinal grooves located in the central part of the tread provide high resistance to aquaplaning;
- High resistance of the tread to uneven wear made it possible to significantly increase the service life of the tire;
- A large number of straight lamellas made it possible to improve water diversion from the contact patch, thereby increasing the grip with a wet surface;
- A special rubber compound provides low heat generation of the tread when driving at high speeds, which reduces rolling resistance and extends the life of the tire;
- The reinforced construction of the sidewalls made it possible to achieve more refined handling.
