Minivans, vans, and light trucks are operated in an intense mode with frequent acceleration, braking, and constant changes in load. The tire for such transport should solve three main problems: not wear out for a long time, confidently hold the road, and resist damage. The Barum Cargo OR59 model is designed specifically for these requirements.
Open tread pattern
In the commercial segment, an open tread is not common. Here, a design with four longitudinal segmented ribs is used. This is maximally functional:
- the effective contact area with a large number of grips allows you to feel confident on both wet and icy road surfaces;
- the ribs work like guides - the vehicle does not stray, the driver does not waste energy on steering;
- the optimized tread profile evenly distributes the load across the entire width. When restructuring and turning, the tire is not deformed - the response to the steering wheel is clear and dosed.
Triple effect against aquaplaning, wear, and noise
The longitudinal grooves between the ribs are not straight, but zigzag-shaped. This shape creates turbulence in the water flow. Water does not have time to form a continuous layer under the tire, breaking into parts that are easier to evacuate. Also, the zigzag smooths out the concentration of stresses - the corners work like shock absorbers, reducing the risk of delamination. And it's worth noting that this shape also breaks the resonance of the air flow. Instead of a monotonous hum at speed - a soft, unobtrusive sound.
Frame that withstands impact
The model features a multi-layer breaker with increased metal cord density in the tread area. Additionally, tread rubber with increased resistance to cuts is used. The result is that the tire withstands intense impact, maintaining its integrity.
Key features of Barum Cargo OR59:
- scope of application - minivans, vans, and light trucks used year-round in mixed (city/highway) mode;
- a pattern with longitudinal ribs and an optimized tread profile improve traction and handling on dry asphalt;
- numerous notches maintain reliable handling and traction properties on wet pavement;
- a frame with a multi-layer breaker provides protection against punctures and cuts.
