When creating the Hercules Terra trac SUV, the manufacturer's task was to design a summer tire for crossovers and SUVs that doesn't just drive, but makes travel over any distance predictable, economical, and comfortable. This is an "asphalt cruiser" for those who spend hours behind the wheel on highways and regional roads. The model has achieved improved traction properties, both on dry and wet surfaces, reduced fuel consumption, and increased mileage while maintaining a low noise effect.
Tire with heat control
The base is a compound made using advanced technology. A special package of polymers has been introduced into the composition, which reduces internal hysteresis losses - the tread heats up less during rotation. And the lower the heat, the less energy is dissipated as heat and the more it goes into forward motion. The result is a measurable reduction in rolling resistance and, as a consequence, fuel savings.
Tread specification
Instead of a chaotic set of blocks, wide longitudinal ribs are used here, the central one of which has a solid structure. These are massive, very rigid elements. At high speeds and during maneuvers, they eliminate tread movement in the transverse direction. The driver gets quick and precise responses, excellent directional stability on straight roads. This configuration reduces rolling resistance and, importantly for long trips, dampens aerodynamic noise.
Lamellas inside the structures
Engineers have cut lamellas - thin and precisely calculated incisions - in all longitudinal ribs. Thanks to them, numerous, multidirectional faces are formed on the surface. When driving on a wet road, they cut through the water film, restoring direct contact between the tire and the asphalt. Water does not have time to accumulate, and hydroplaning is minimized.
Main features of the Hercules Terra trac SUV:
- applicability in the summer season on large crossovers, SUVs, and pickups;
- a special package of polymers reduces the heat of the tread, which reduces rolling resistance and simultaneously increases wear resistance;
- rigid elements in the center provide high directional stability, precise and quick responses, reduce noise;
- the presence of a developed block system in combination with a lamellar mesh neutralizes the effect of aquaplaning.
