Headway HR802 235/70 R16 106H

The summer passenger tire Headway HR802 is one of the latest developments of the well-known Chinese manufacturer. This model is distinguished by a wide range of applications. It is perfect for many modern crossovers, as well as for commercial vehicles - light trucks and minibuses. The second specialization provides this tire with a solid margin of strength, which will be very relevant on our roads.

Excellent traction on wet roads

One of the distinctive features of this model is the tread pattern. It contains an unusually large number of traction edges for a summer tire. They are formed by a multitude of individual blocks, grouped into five very wide longitudinal ribs. This structure has made it possible to create a very branched drainage system. It consists of four longitudinal grooves connected by a large number of transverse channels passing between the blocks.

In addition, it is impossible not to note the presence on the surface of each block of several wavy lamellas. These tread elements, when in contact with the road surface, form additional edges. They, in turn, direct excess moisture from the contact patch into the longitudinal grooves, which serve as a kind of accumulator. Then the water is discharged outward through the transverse channels of the shoulder areas of the tread.

As mentioned earlier, the tread pattern contains a large number of traction edges. Mostly they are located transversely. This feature provides the tire with excellent traction properties in the longitudinal direction, especially when driving on wet roads.

Excellent stability when maneuvering

The shoulder areas of the tread pattern of this tire are distinguished by an original design. First of all, it is worth noting their massive size and low-radius profile of this part of the tread. Due to this solution, the tire has been able to impart several very important qualities at once. One of them is increased resistance to lateral skidding, as well as excellent directional stability when cornering.

Another advantage of such a structure of the shoulder areas of the tread is the provision of optimal distribution of external pressure over the contact patch. This feature provides the tire with excellent resistance to uneven wear, which significantly extends its service life.

In addition, the shoulder areas of the Headway HR802 are divided by transverse drainage grooves into separate blocks. Their massive size, combined with the formed transverse traction edges, provides maximum efficiency and stability when braking, especially on a slippery surface.

Low noise level

In motion, this tire demonstrates a fairly low noise level, despite the presence of a large number of individual tread elements. This was achieved due to their location with a different step relative to each other. In addition, a significant part of the traction edges is located at a significant angle relative to the direction of movement. This not only reduces the noise level but also contributes to a decrease in rolling resistance, which, in turn, improves fuel efficiency.

Main features:

- excellent traction on wet roads, thanks to the multitude of traction edges and a branched drainage system, ensuring high resistance to aquaplaning;
- excellent stability when cornering, high resistance to uneven wear due to the rigidity of the shoulder areas of the tread pattern;
- low noise level is ensured by the location of the tread elements with a different step relative to each other, as well as the traction edges at a significant angle relative to the direction of movement.
