The Yatai brand belongs to the Chinese company Qingdao Shengtai Hongsheng Trading Company Limited. For several decades, it has been engaged in the production and sale of passenger and commercial tires, using its own enterprise equipped with the most modern equipment.
In the commercial tire segment, the manufacturer offers more than fifty models, covering almost all scenarios for the use of trucks, large buses, and special equipment. The conditions of operation are used for classification:
- for long-haul transportation;
- for regional/urban transportation;
- for mixed operating conditions;
- for dirt roads.
The line of tires for long-haul transportation is the most numerous, since it is composed mainly of tires intended for use on a specific axle, as well as models designed for specific application conditions, primarily on slippery winter roads. This approach is ensured by the design of tread patterns. A large number of its variants are used, ranging from classic ones with continuous longitudinal ribs to "block" ones, consisting of separate elements with cut lamellas. Among other features, it is worth noting the use of durable carcasses with a solid steel structure, possessing high bearing capacity and resistance to damage, as well as a rubber compound resistant to wear, punctures, and tears.
For regional and urban transportation, the manufacturer offers universal models recommended for use on both trucks and large buses. They differ from the "long-haul" line with a more robust carcass design and the use of rubber compounds that are much more resistant to abrasive wear and overheating. In addition, tread patterns with a large number of gripping edges are used, which improves the grip properties on wet surfaces.
The Yatai tire line for mixed operating conditions is represented by models suitable for use on both asphalt roads and dirt roads. Their scope of application is trucks and special equipment used in construction and municipal services. The key feature is the design of tread patterns. In all its variants, it contains a large number of elongated multidirectional edges, which provide reliable grip on loose unstable surfaces. At the same time, the use of continuous longitudinal ribs and the dense arrangement of tread pattern elements preserve efficiency on asphalt roads.
Tires of the brand for off-road use are designed for operation, primarily, in quarry dump trucks and other special equipment used on the production sites of mining enterprises. The key external difference is the design of tread patterns. It is a combination of massive blocks. Their size is due, among other things, to the need to prevent tread rupture under the deforming tire impact. In addition, to protect it from damage, a multilayer steel cord with an increased cross-section of metal threads is used, as well as a rubber compound that is extremely strong and resistant to wear, tears, and chips.
