The summer passenger tire Headway HC768 is designed primarily for car enthusiasts who are looking for a tire that combines a high level of safety, economy, and low cost. This model, despite its affordable price, has good traction properties, both on dry and wet roads, and is also distinguished by its excellent fuel economy.
Large contact patch sizes
For this tire, Chinese specialists preferred to use an S-shaped pattern with a reduced number of tread elements. This solution provided the tire with numerous advantages. First and foremost, it is the large size of the tread blocks, located both in the central part and in the shoulder areas of the tread. Thanks to this, it was possible to significantly increase the area of the contact patch, which had a very positive effect on handling, making it much more reliable.
Two rigid central ribs
The central part of the Headway HC768 tread is occupied by two very wide longitudinal ribs. They consist of numerous individual blocks rigidly connected to each other. This design provided the tire with several strong qualities at once. First and foremost, it is excellent directional stability, which was achieved due to the high deformation resistance of these tread elements. Additionally, in this part of the tread, there are many drainage channels, the walls of which are simultaneously the edges of the traction, providing high efficiency of acceleration, especially on wet roads.
Increased stability during sharp maneuvering
The structure of the shoulder areas of the tread deserves special mention. They are distinguished by more massive sizes than the two longitudinal ribs in the central part. Thanks to this, they have increased resistance to dynamic deformation, providing increased stability when cornering. Additionally, the reinforced design of the shoulder areas contributes to the extension of the tire's service life due to a more even distribution of external load across the contact patch.
Main features of the Headway HC768 tire
- the optimized S-shaped design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern has excellent efficiency in any road conditions;
- two rigid longitudinal ribs in the central part of the tread, thanks to which the tire demonstrates excellent directional stability;
- excellent handling, thanks to the reinforced shoulder areas;
- reliable traction on wet roads is ensured by the high performance of the tire's drainage system.
