Apollo Hawkz H/T

The Apollo Hawkz H/T summer light truck tire is one of the latest developments from the world-renowned Indian manufacturer. This model is designed for crossovers and SUVs that are mainly used in the city and on highways. The H/T prefix in the tire's name unequivocally hints at this, which stands for High Terrain.

S-shaped tread pattern design

Like most other models from this manufacturer, this tire features a symmetrical non-directional tread pattern with an S-shaped design. This choice is justified by the desire to give the tire maximum versatility in combination with a high level of driving comfort.

This tread pattern, created according to the classical canons of the modern tire industry, contains two main functional zones - the central part and the shoulder zones on both sides of the tread. In the very center of the Apollo Hawkz H/T tread, there is a fairly wide longitudinal rib without interruptions throughout its length. This solution is borrowed from sports tires designed for passenger cars and provides excellent directional stability, reduced rolling resistance, and fast response to steering wheel turns.

The two longitudinal ribs, also located in the central part of the tread, contain a large number of double blocks of polygonal shape. To reduce the noise level, their corners and edges were rounded. The numerous edges formed by these blocks provide more reliable grip with a slippery surface and also allow you to overcome difficult off-road sections with much more confidence.

Main features of Apollo Hawkz H/T

The S-shaped tread pattern design is optimized for operation on paved roads, but if necessary, it will confidently overcome difficult off-road sections beyond their limits;
- The rigid central rib has significantly improved directional stability, reduced rolling resistance, and increased handling responsiveness;
- The low noise level is ensured by the placement of tread elements with different spacing relative to each other, as well as by the rounded edges and corners of the blocks located in the central part of the tread;
- The wide shoulder zones allow the tire to demonstrate excellent stability when cornering.
