Грузовые шины Matador FR3

The Matador FR3 summer cargo tire is recommended by the manufacturer for installation on any axle of trucks. This model is perfect for operation both on city roads and on high-speed highways between countries and regions. The size range of this tire is represented by 4 types, designed for installation on wheels with a landing diameter of 17.5 and 19.5 inches.

Original 6-rib design of the tread pattern

Since the Matador FR3 tire was specifically designed for use on roads with a solid surface, particular attention was paid to the stability of behavior when driving at high speeds during its development. This is largely why it was equipped with an original S-shaped symmetrical non-directional tread pattern, containing 6 longitudinal ribs, which guarantee excellent directional stability on any road surface.

Another characteristic feature of the tread pattern of this model is the increased size of the central part of the tread, where 4 out of 6 longitudinal ribs are located. Each of these ribs represents a separate row of small blocks, separated from each other by S-shaped drainage channels. In this way, the developers provided a contact patch with a multitude of sharp edges of traction, which gave the tire excellent traction parameters. Additionally, it should be noted that the surface of the blocks located in the two extreme longitudinal ribs of the central part has special wavy lamellas. The main purpose of these tread elements is to increase the resistance to lateral accelerations by increasing the stiffness of the blocks.

Main features of the Matador FR3 tire

- The original S-shaped design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern contains 6 longitudinal ribs, which provides excellent directional stability and high maneuverability;
- Four rows of tread blocks in the central part allow the tire to demonstrate excellent traction and coupling characteristics, especially on slippery surfaces;
- The increased size of the three drainage grooves in the central part ensures excellent resistance to aquaplaning;
- The large number of tread ribs significantly reduces rolling resistance, thereby improving fuel efficiency.
