Description Hankook AM09
The commercial tire Hankook AM09 is installed on the steering axle. It differs in design, adapted for operation both on asphalt roads and on unpaved surfaces. In such conditions, it is characterized by reliability, durability, and stable traction in any driving mode.
The tread is made of a rubber compound, the physicochemical properties of which were selected based on unfavorable operating conditions. The compound is distinguished by exceptional tear and tensile strength, which gives the tire resistance not only to wear but also to punctures and cuts. Reliability is ensured by the reinforced design of the carcass, which is made of multi-layer steel cord. On top of it is a 4-layer breaker. This component additionally enhances protection against punctures and cuts, and also, due to the optimization of load distribution across the contact patch, increases the stability of traction properties and reduces uneven wear.
The list of design elements of this tire includes a reinforced rim ring. A special rigid filler ensures tight adhesion of the tire to the wheel disk, which increases protection against mechanical damage.
The tread is distinguished by the presence of zigzag grooves and polygonal lamellas. These elements improve stability on unpaved and slippery surfaces. The shape of the lamellas additionally reduces the risk of punctures and cuts. The optimized tread profile increases the width of the contact patch, improves the resistance of the tread to deformation. This improves handling and increases the lifespan.
