Description Hankook AU04
The commercial tire Hankook AU04 is designed for the steering axle of high-capacity buses. It is recommended by the manufacturer for use in urban and suburban transportation with their characteristic frequent stops.
The tread pattern is distinguished by enlarged shoulder zones and their solid structure. The high stiffness of this part of the tread reduces uneven wear and rolling resistance. There are special grooves on the edges of the shoulder zones that prevent tread chipping, thereby increasing the life of the tire. The central part features two wide longitudinal ribs with longitudinal and transverse 3D lamellas. The optimal width and arrangement of the elements reduce wear and rolling resistance, while the narrow grooves provide deceleration intensity on slippery roads from rain and snow.
Key features of Hankook AU04
- reinforced breaker reduces tire deformation and heating during prolonged high-speed driving;
- longitudinal and transverse "three-dimensional" lamellas in the central part improve traction on slippery surfaces;
- solid enlarged shoulder ribs reduce wear and rolling resistance.
