Description Giti GT659
One of the main features of the GT Radial GT659D cargo tire, designed for the drive axles of highway tractors, is the possibility of year-round operation. This is ensured by a universal tread pattern, which contains a large number of traction edges, as well as a rubber compound that maintains optimal elasticity over a wide temperature range. Also, it's worth noting the relatively low operating costs, which are due not only to the attractive price but also to the excellent fuel efficiency and wear resistance.
Excellent traction and directional stability on slippery roads
As mentioned earlier, the tread pattern of this model is one of the factors that has provided it with a wide range of applications. It features six longitudinal ribs, each of which is a row of separate rectangular blocks. In combination with the longitudinal arrangement of all these elements, these design features give the tire excellent directional stability and very good fuel efficiency, ensured by reduced rolling resistance.
Additionally, it's worth noting the close spacing and massive size of the tread blocks. This has allowed significantly increasing the contact patch area, which in turn has led to improved traction. These features are especially pronounced when driving on slippery roads due to rain or snow.
High efficiency during acceleration and braking
A significant part of the traction edges formed by the numerous tread blocks is located transversely. Additionally, each of them has an S-shaped lamella on its surface. These special tread elements form additional traction edges, also located predominantly transversely. Moreover, due to the S-shaped form, their walls are tightly fixed between themselves when contacting the road, which significantly increases the stiffness of the blocks, providing more reliable handling.
Main features of the GT Radial GT659D tire
- the tire is designed for the drive axle of trucks;
- the universal tread pattern provides the possibility of year-round operation;
- excellent ride comfort, thanks to the wear-resistant rubber compound, uniform distribution of external pressure over the contact patch, and increased tread depth;
