Description Bontyre BT-901
The all-season truck tire Bontyre BT-901 has a number of interesting design features that give it excellent operational characteristics. In addition, this model has a fairly specific area of application. It was specifically designed for use on any axles of trucks used in the mining industry. I.e. this tire is designed for minimal road conditions and unfavorable temperature regimes.
Quarry tread pattern
According to the domestic manufacturer, the term "quarry tread pattern" refers to an S-shaped symmetrical non-directional tread pattern. It consists of many separate blocks grouped into three longitudinal rows.
The most massive tread blocks of the Bontyre BT-901 are located in the central part. They have a complex polygonal shape with extensive faces. The large size of the blocks made it possible to give the contact patch a maximum area. This did not so much improve traction as it did distribute the external pressure on the contact patch in the best possible way, thereby ensuring high resistance to uneven wear.
In addition, it is worth noting the competent design of the drainage system. Despite the relatively small size of its channels, the tread has excellent self-cleaning properties. This was achieved by equipping the drainage grooves with special "stone ejectors".
Excellent strength and resistance to aggressive influence
Thanks to the use of a all-steel frame, domestic specialists were able to create a very strong, but at the same time quite elastic structure that is resistant to thermal deformation. In addition, special components were included in the rubber compound of the tread that not only increased resistance to abrasive wear, but also reduced the likelihood of punctures or cuts.
Main features of the Bontyre BT-901 tire
- the tire is specifically designed for use in harsh road conditions with unfavorable temperature effects;
- the original S-shaped tread pattern is optimized to provide maximum performance on rocky and loose soils;
- excellent strength, high resistance to aggressive influence, as well as the possibility of tread restoration are provided by the use of an all-steel frame;
- excellent self-cleaning properties of the tread from soil particles, thanks to the special shape of the drainage grooves.
