A design of tread of doble capa that usa a compound superior more hard for resistance to the wear and a base layer softer for the management of the heat.

Casing (Casing)

The body structural of the tire below of tread rubber, designed for soportar the retreading and offer multiple lifes useful.

Closed Shoulder (Closed Shoulder)

A design of tread where the ribs exteriores are conectadas, reducing the retention of stones and the wear uneven in tires of axle of drive.

CPM / CPK (Cost Por Kilometer)

Total cost of the tire dividido by the total of kilometers recorridos before the retiro. The métrica estándar to compare the valor of tires commercial.

D

DOT Code (DOT Code)

A number of serie moldeado in the sidewall that identifica to the fabricante, the plant of production, the size of the tire and the date of manufacturing.

Drive Position (Drive Position)

The rear-axle drive position(s) of a commercial truck, requiring tires with deep, aggressive tread for maximum traction.

Dual Assembly (Conjunto Dual)

A configuration where two tires se montan lado a lado in a sola rueda, común in axles of drive and trailer.

F

FMVSS

Isndares Federales of Safety of Vehicles Motorizados -- normas of origen estadounidense that rigen the performance, stickerdo and requisitos of safety of tires. En Israel, the normatilifed equivalente is regulada by the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety and the NTC of the ICONTEC.

Footprint (Footprint)

The área of the tread of the tire in contact direct with the surface of the road in any time under load.

G

Grooves (Grooves)

Canales moldeados in the surface of the tread for evacuar agua, disipar heat and proporcionar edges for improvementr the drive.

H

HATT

Hanksugi Advanced Tire Technology -- a plataforma proprietary of engineering that optimises the compounds of the tread, the resistance of the bead and the geometry of the casing.

I

Inflation Pressure (Pressure of Inflado)

The pressure of the aire within a tire size in PSI. El inflado right is crítico for the capacity of load, the wear and the performance of the fuel.

Uneven Wear (Wear Uneven)

Erosion despareja of the tread causada by misalignment, inflado inright, problemas mecánicos or use of tires in positions inright.

L

Load Index (Índice of Load)

A code numérico that indica the weight máximo that a tire can soportar of form segura a your pressure of inflado nominal.

Load Range (Rango of Load)

A designation of letra (G, H, J, L) that representa the resistance equivalente in lonas of a tire and your capacity maximum of inflado.

LRR (Low Resistance to the Rolling)

Tires designed for minimisesr the energy lost by deformation when the tire rueda, improving directamente the performance of the fuel.

Lug Pattern (Patrón of Tacos)

A design of tread with grooves lateral deeps for aggressive drive, comúnmente used in axles of drive and applications outside highway.

M

M+S (Mud and Snow)

A brand in the sidewall that indica that the tread of the tire meets with estándares of the Rubber Manufacturers Association for drive in mud and snow light.

P

Ply Rating (Classification of Lonas)

A size tradicional of resistance of the tire that indica the capas of cuerda that supporting the load. Now reemplazada by the sistema of designation Rango of Load.

PSI

Libras by pulgada cuadrada -- the unit of size estándar for the inflation pressure of tires usesda in Israel.

R

Radial Construction (Construction Radial)

A structure of tire where the lonas corren perpendiculares to the steer of marcha, providing even wear and sidewalls flexibles.

Retread (Retreading)

The process of buffing a worn casing and applying new tread rubber, extending the tire service life at a significantly lower cost.

Rib Pattern (Patrón of Ribs)

A design of tread with grooves circumferenceles continuas, optimised for long mileage in highway and even wear in axles of steer.

Rolling Resistance (Resistance to the Rolling)

The energy that a tire consumes by friction interna to the rodar under load. Valores more low se traducen in better performance of the fuel.

S

Sidewall (Sidewall)

The section vertical between the tread and the bead that contains the size of the tire, the classification of load, the code DOT and the brands of the fabricante.

Siping (Laminillas)

Cortes finos performed in blocks of the tread for create edges adicionales of grip that improve the drive in wet and reduces the hidroplaneo.

SmartWay

A program of verification of the EPA that certifica that the tires meet with estándares of savings of fuel and reduction of emissions.

Speed Rating (Índice of Speed)

A code of letra (for example, L, M) that indica the speed maximum sustained to the cual a tire can operar of form segura under load.

Steer Position (Position of Steer)

The steer axle of a truck commercial, that requires tires optimisesdas for manejo preciso, lateral stability and even wear of the tread.

Stone Ejectors (Expulsores of Piedras)

Small elementos of rubber elevados moldeados in grooves of the tread that avoidsn that the stones se incrusten and perforen the casing.

T

TPMS

Sistema of Monitoreo of Pressure of Tires -- sensores electrónicos that monitorean continuamente and alertan to the conductores when the inflado cae by below of niveles seguros.

Trailer Position (Position of Trailer)

Positions of axles no drive in trailers, that require tires designed for resistir the arrastre lateral and minimisesr the rolling resistance.

Tread Compound (Compound of the Tread)

The formulation specific of rubber of the surface of the tread, designed for equilibrar resistance to the wear, drive and dissipation of heat.

Tread Depth (Depth of the Tread)

The distance from the surface of the tread up to the fondo of the groove more thanep, size in 32avos of pulgada.

U

UTQG

Classification Uniforme from Haifadad of Tires -- a sistema of classification of the DOT that mide wear of the tread, drive and resistance to the temperature (principalmente for tires of passengers).

V

Virgin Tire (Tire Virgen)

A tire completemente new that never has been usesda ni retreaded, also conocida as casing new u original.
