Description Hankook e-cube Max TL10+
The Hankook e-cube Max TL10+ cargo tire is one of the representatives of the e-cube Max family of energy-efficient tires, which, among other things, is also distinguished by its increased environmental properties. This model is designed for installation on trailers and semi-trailers of long-haul heavy-duty trucks.
One of the distinctive features of this model, like other representatives of the family of energy-efficient tires, is the improved tread rubber compound. This rubber compound uses high-molecular-weight rubbers with very long-chain molecules with low branching tendency. In combination with a new low-temperature mixing technique, this allows for a more reliable bond between the rubber and carbon molecules, as well as a more uniform distribution of ingredients in the rubber compound. As a result, it was possible to obtain a tread rubber compound with excellent operating characteristics, including a low heat level, high resistance to wear and excellent elasticity.
The tread pattern of the Hankook E-cube MAX TL10+ tire consists of five longitudinal ribs, the solid structure of which gives these elements a high level of structural rigidity. Thanks to this solution, the tire was able to give a number of significant advantages. First of all, the large width and solid structure of the longitudinal tread ribs allow for uniform pressure distribution over the entire contact patch area. This led to an improvement in the tread's resistance to uneven wear, which, in turn, increased the service life of the tire. Another undeniable advantage of this tread pattern structure is excellent directional stability and fuel efficiency due to significantly reduced rolling resistance.
Main features of Hankook E-cube MAX TL10+
- Excellent directional stability thanks to five wide longitudinal tread ribs;
- Excellent fuel efficiency is ensured by reducing rolling resistance, which was achieved thanks to the solid structure of the longitudinal tread ribs;
- Innovative rubber compound composition with high-molecular-weight rubbers made it possible to significantly reduce the heat generation of the tire during movement, as well as significantly improve the tread's resistance to premature wear.
