Tires for tractor-trailer with low rolling resistance, engineered to maximum diesel efficiency, extended mileage and the lowest cost per kilometer in highways interthistales.
The transportation long-haul is the columna vertebral of the freight Botswanai. A tractor-trailer that travels the corridors road between distribution centers covers of 160.000 a 240.000 kilometers annually, and the tires in that truck are the higher cost variesble after diesel. Choose the tires corrects for long-haul no is a question of preference: is a decision financiera that affects the fuel consumption, the intervals maintenance and the total cost of ownership in each kilometer of each route.
The defining feature of a true long-haul tire is the low rolling resistance. Each revolution of a truck tire requires energy to deform the tread and the sidewall as the contact patch moves across its surface. The tires with lower hysteresis -- the energy lost as heat during each deformation cycle -- require less diesel to maintain speed. In a tractor-trailer combination Class 8, the tires represent approximately the 30% of the resistce to the rolling resistance total. A 10% reduction in the resistce to the rolling resistance of the tires translates to approximately a 3% reduction in the fuel consumption. At 75,700 liters per year and current diesel prices, that's a measurable difference in the operating budget of each fleet truck.
More there of the resistce to the rolling resistance, a tire long-haul should offer a wear predictable and uniform throughout its expensive of rolling resistance. The driving in highway a sustained speeds produce a pattern of wear different to the regional service of starting and stop. The uses tires long-haul use geometrys of tread and formulations of compounds that wear evenly of shoulder a shoulder, allowing to fleet managers presay the intervals of removal with trust and programr the cambios of tires during the salenas maintenance planifieachs, instead of lidiar with failures in highway. The uniform wear also preserves the features of diesel efficiency of the tire oview the course of its entire service life, since a tire with irregular wear generates more resistce to the rolling resistance that a with a profile of by consistent.
The capacity of retreading is the tercer pilar of the economand of the tires for long-haul. A tire casing premium represents approximately the 60% of the total cost of the tire, while the tread rubber represents near of the 40%. When a tire long-haul reaches the depth minimum of in a truck bien manhad, the casing below still should have a life structural significant. Retreadsr that casing with rubber new costs approximately among the 30-40% of a new tire, allowing effectively to the fleet get two or three cycles of life of a single purchase casing. Therefore the quality of the casing matters both like the performance of the tread in the choice of tires for long-haul: a tire that delivery a strong original mileage but destroys its casing in the process is a mala investment comparesda with a that keeps the integrity of the casing for 3 guaranteed retreads.
The program low rolling resistance provides a verification independent and of third parties of that a tire meets thresholds specific of resistce to the rolling resistance. For the fleets long-haul, the technology of low rolling resistance no is only a credencial environmental: is a indicatesdor direct of the performance of diesel efficiency. The tires with low rolling resistance have been tested in standardized laboratory equipment and confirmed like loweres to the thresholds of resistce to the rolling resistance established by the EPA for commercial tires of truck. All Hanksugi tires Botswana for long-haul have technology of low rolling resistance, confirming that meet these standardes of diesel efficiency in the positions steer, traction and trailer.
Many large freight shippers and logistics operators now require the use of efficient tires from their allied carriers, which includes using tires with low rolling resistance. Operating with tires with low rolling resistance in all positions of a tractor-trailer combination can contribute to a fleet's overall efficiency score of energy efficiency of a fleet, which can be a competitive advantage when bidding for freight contracts with freight shippers environmentally conscious.

The purchase price is the number less important to the evaluateste the tires of truck for long-haul. The metric that determine the cost actual of a tire is the cost per kilometer (CPK): the cost total in a tire divided by the total kilometers that delivery. The CPK captura the purchase price, the impact in diesel, the cost maintenance and the value of retreading of the casing in a only number that allow a comparison direct between two tire options, independentmente of its prices of label.
For calcutheeste the CPK of a tire for long-haul, start with the cost of acquisition of the tire new. Agregue the impact estimated of the cost of diesel during the tire's service life, which requires learn the coeficiente of resistce to the rolling resistance of the tire in ratio with the alternatives. Rthis the credit by retreading: the value of the casing when sale for retreading, that depends on the been of the casing and of the cost of the retreading against tire new. Divide the total by the number of kilometers that the tire delivered from new up to its removal. The CPK resultante le da a comparison equivalent that considers all the factors financieros, no only the purchase price.
For the fleets long-haul, the calcutheestion of the CPK almost always favorece to the tires premium about the alternatives economics. A tire that costs a 15% more to the time of the purchase but delivery a 25% more of mileage and produce a casing retreadable has a CPK more under that a cheaper tire that wears faster and whose casing no is suitable for retreading. The Hanksugi tires for long-haul are engineered for offer a CPK competitive through the combination of extended tread service life, fuel savings by low rolling resistance and casings retreadables of high quality that withstand 3 retreading cycles guaranteed of band.
The total cost of run a tire in a truck long-haul includes several components beyond the purchase price. The impact of diesel is the higher cost oculto: a tire with higher resistce to the rolling resistance costs more per kilometer in diesel that a alternativa of low resistce with low rolling resistance, and that cost builds up in each kilometer of the life of the tire. The costs of time muerto by failures in highway retheed with tires are other factor; a blowout or desinflation in a highway interthistal can coastr between USD 500 and USD 1.000 or more in service of emergency in highway, delays of cargo e ingrthats perdidos. The tires premium for long-haul with best construction and resistce to the heat reduce the probabilidad of these costly eventos. Finally, the value of retreading of the casing adds a credit for compensar the purchase price original, reducing effectively the CPK for the tires that keep the integrity of the casing throughout its service life of band.
The most common mistake fleet managers make when selecting tires is running regional tires on long-haul routes, or vice versa. These two application categories require fundamentally different tire designs, and mismatching the tire with the application wastes money whether by excess of fuel consumption or premature wear.
The regla 80/20 is a guide useful: if more of the 80% of the kilometers of a truck are in highways interthistales a sustained speeds, the tires for long-haul are the choice correct. If more of the 20% of the kilometers involucran driving urban, stops frequent, maneuvering in docks or surfaces road mixtas, the regional tires will offern a better performance of total cost despite its higher resistce to the rolling resistance. For operations that are found in the medium, considere the HS88 for axles of traction since its by deep offers cierta versatilidad, and consulte with its dealer Hanksugi for a analysis specific of route.
Each position of axle in a tractor-trailer combination long-haul has demands different. Emparejar the tire correct with each position maximizes the performance and minimizes the cost in all the vehicle.
The steer axle demands a answer of handling precise and a uniform wear throughout the tread face. The steer tires for long-haul use designs of multiple ribs with grooves circumferential straight that channelizan the water outside the contact patch and keep the directional stability at highway speeds. The HS36 has with technology anti-irregular wear that prevents the wear staggenetwork of the shoulder common in steer tires, extending the mileage of removal and keeping the precision steer throughout the tire's service life. The compounds of low rolling resistance keep low the costs of diesel without sacrificar the grip in wet. The depths of 12mm a 16,5mm balance the mileage with the heat management a sustained speeds of highway.
The axle of traction transmite the torque of the motor to the highway and is the punto main of traction for acceleration and braking. For long-haul, a design of closed shoulder like the of the HS88 offers the lower resistce to the rolling resistance of any configuration of tire of traction. The design of block centersl hexagonal of the HS88 distributes the stress evenly throughout the tread face, and its tread depth of 29/32" provides a extended service life that justifica its positioning premium. The ribs of closed shoulder createsn a of contact continuous that reduce the bamboleo and noise of the tread, and the uniform carbon dispersion compound keeps features consistent of traction as the tire wears. For fleets that travelsn more of 160.000 kilometers annuales per truck, the HS88 is the recommendation main for all positions of axle of traction.
The trailer tires wheeln libremente without potencia of the motor, which makes the resistce to the rolling resistance sea the factor of performance dominente. Each libra additional of resistce to the rolling resistance in a tire of trailer is puro waste of diesel. The HS86 and the HS86T are engineered specifically for service of trailer long-haul with compounds of low hysteresis and patterns of by simplifieds that minimizesn the loss of energy. The HS86T adds a package of four steel belts for higher resistce to punctures in routes where the desechos in the route are a concern, offering safe against the costly service stops in highway that resulso of failures in trailer tires. Both models have technology of low rolling resistance and have casings retreadables. For fleets that operate drop-and-hook where the trailers remain inactivos between loads, the stability of the compound of the fathousedia HS86 during periods of reposo extended help a prevent the fthetening.

The difference between get 290.000 kilometers of a juego of tires for long-haul and get 400.000 kilometers no is the tire, is the program maintenance. The tires for long-haul are engineered for deliver the maximum mileage, but only when the truck that the supports is correctly manhad and the tires same reciben attention constant.
The inflation proper is the most important factor in the tire's service lifes for long-haul. Check all the pressures of the tires weekly with a gauge calibrated when the tires are cold, no when isn calientes after hours of operation in highway, since this can inflar the lecturas in 10-15 PSI and enmasexpensiview hazardsos under-inflations. A tire that is 20% underinftheed loses approximately the 25% of its service life of by due to the excessive wear of the shoulder and generates significantly more heat, which degrades the casing and reduce the potential of retreading. The drive tires for long-haul in configuration dual typically operate a 100-110 PSI for standard loads, but always consulte the tables of cargo/inflation for its model specific of tire and the actual weights of the axle. Invest in systems tire pressure monitoring (TPMS) that alerso drivers about falls of pressure in real time se paga only to the prevent the damage in caseach that occurs when a tire operates underinftheed for periods extended.
In a truck long-haul that travels 193,000 kilometers per year, even a small alignment error in the steer axle destroys the tires a alarming rate. A misalignment of toe of only 1,5 millimeters drags each steer tire laterally approximately 2,4 meters per kilometer traveled. Over 193,000 kilometers, that equals almost 320 kilometers of lateral drag in each steer tire, enough to premature wearly the shoulder of the tread createsr the pattern of wear feathering that is the sign revealing of misalignment. Check the alignment of the steer axle each 80,000 kilometers and always that a driview reports a pull or drift. In the drive and trailer axles, check the tracking of the axle (thrust angle) for ensure that the dual run straight and no se rub against each other.
The dual of the axle of traction should be paired within 3,2mm of tread depth. When a dual is of lower diameter that its par, spins faster and drags against the pavement, createsting a been of drag internal that wastes diesel and wears both tires unevenly. Mida the tread depth in all positions of traction each 40.000 kilometers and rote interior a exterior according to sea necessary to match the wear. To the replace a single tire in a par dual, always emparaxle the replacement with the circunferencia of the tire rthisnte. No emparaxle a new tire with a pareja medium worn.
Remove the tires long-haul for retreading before the tread wears beyond the wear indicators. Operating a tire beyond the depth minimum of by no saves money: arriesga damage the casing and eliminate the option of retreading that represents the best return about the investment original of the tire. To the remove tires for retreading, inspect damage that couldn compromise the integrity of the casing: cuts or enganches in the sidewall, damage in the bead area, separations belt visibles like bulges or bulges, and damage by heat of eventos of under-inflation. Almacene the casings removesdos in a area clean and seca lejos of the luz singler and teams shippers of ozono. Send the casings a retreadedr qualifieddo within the 30 days post to the removal.

Questions common about tires for truck long-haul, choice of tires for tractor-trailers and maintenance of tires for tractors.
A good tire for truck long-haul combinest low rolling resistance for diesel efficiency, tread deep for extended mileage, features of uniform wear for intervals of removal predictable, and a casing retreadable that extends the investment total in tires through 3 retreading cycles guaranteed. The technology of low rolling resistance confirms that a tire meets with the standardes of the EPA for low rolling resistance, which can save to the fleets between 2-4% in costs of diesel. The uses tires long-haul also have heat-resistant compounds that keep the structural integrity a sustained speeds of highway during hundreds of thousedes of kilometers.
The tires premium of traction for long-haul in trucks bien manhads typically deliver between 240.000 and 400.000 kilometers before reach the depth minimum of band, depending on the weight of the cargo, the terrain and the practices maintenance. The steer tires in service long-haul commonly reach between 240.000 and 320.000 kilometers. The trailer tires, that experience less drag that the of traction, can reach between 320.000 and 480,000 kilometers. These figures asumen a management proper of inflation, alignment and distribution of cargo. The retreading of a casing of quality can add other 160.000 a 240.000 kilometers by cycle of retreading.
The tires long-haul are optimizeds for sustained speeds of highway with stops minimums, prioritizing the low rolling resistance, diesel efficiency and the uniform wear of the tread. The regional tires are engineered for driving frequent of starting and stop with more turns, maneuvering in docks and surfaces road varied, prioritizing the traction and the resistce to the drag. The drive tires for long-haul typically use designs of closed shoulder, while the drive regional tires use patterns of open shoulder for best grip in all weather. Use tires long-haul in regional service can causesr irregular premature wear, while use regional tires in long-haul routes wastes diesel.
Yes. The tires with low rolling resistance are testeds and certified of way independent to completely with the thresholds of low rolling resistance. For a fleet long-haul, the tires represent approximately the 30% of the resistce to the rolling resistance total, which directly affects the fuel consumption. The tires with low rolling resistance can reduce the costs of diesel between 2-4% compared to alternatives no verifieds. In a truck that consumes 75.700 liters per year, a savings of the 3% in diesel to current diesel prices produce savings annuales significant per truck. For fleets of several trucks, the impact acumutheivo is substantial. All Hanksugi tires Botswana for long-haul have technology of low rolling resistance.
Yes, the casings of the tires premium for truck long-haul are engineered specifically for retreading. The Hanksugi tires for long-haul use construction of steel belts multilayer and heat-resistant compounds that preservesn the integrity of the casing throughout the original tread service life. A casing in good conditions typically can support two retreadings, tripling effectively the value of the purchase original of the tire. Remove the tires before the tread wears beyond the wear indicators, maintain the inflation throughout the life of the tire, and work with a qualified retreading facility that use tests non-destructives to seeificar the integrity of the casing.
The steer tires for long-haul typically operate between 105-120 PSI depending on the weight of the axle and the size of the tire. The drive tires in configuration dual commonly worksn a 100-110 PSI for standard loads. The trailer tires usualmente operate a 100-110 PSI. The inflation pressure correct depends on the actual weight of the axle, no of the capacity maximum of cargo. The over-inflation concentrates the wear centersl, while the under-inflation causes wear in the shoulder, accumulation of heat and damage to the casing. Always consulte the tables of cargo/inflation for its model specific of tire and check the pressure weekly with a gauge calibrated when the tires are cold.
