Description Marshal R968
The Marshal R968 truck tire is designed for installation on the trailer axles of trucks, the operation of which is associated with intercity and interregional transportation. This model is beneficially distinguished by excellent characteristics, ranging from excellent directional stability to a very long service life. In addition, it is impossible not to note the extremely attractive cost of this tire, which makes its operation economically more advantageous.
Multi-ribbed tread pattern
Like most other trailer tires, this model is equipped with a tread pattern with an increased number of longitudinal ribs. At the same time, each of these six elements has a solid, uninterrupted construction throughout the tread, which provides them with high deformation resistance. This design gives the tire two very important advantages - very low rolling resistance and excellent directional stability.
Wide shoulder areas
Unlike the longitudinal ribs of the central part, the shoulder areas of the tread have more massive dimensions. In combination with a wear-resistant rubber compound, this provides the tire with a number of advantages. First of all, this is the optimal distribution of external weight on the contact patch, which minimizes the risk of uneven wear. At the same time, its shape has become close to rectangular, which has a positive effect on handling.
High resistance to aquaplaning
The increased number of tread ribs has allowed equipping the tread of this model with five longitudinal drainage grooves. In combination with their significant width and depth, this provides very fast removal of even a large amount of water from the contact patch, which ensures that the tire demonstrates excellent resistance to aquaplaning even at high speeds.
Main features of the Marshal R968 tire
- the tire is designed for installation on the trailer axles of high-capacity trucks;
- six longitudinal ribs improve directional stability and reduce rolling resistance;
- reinforced shoulder areas, which ensure more even distribution of external pressure on the contact patch, which, in turn, increases the carrying capacity and reduces the likelihood of uneven wear.
