What Are Commercial Truck Drive Tires?

The drive tires for commercial truck mount in the axles rears motricis of commercial vehicles Clase 6 a Class 8, where comply the function critical of transmit the torthat of the motor the surface of the via. Each time that a driver acelera, sube a slope or brakes in a descent, the drive tires are the point of contact between several hundreds of caballos of fuerzto and the pavement. This rol demanding requires a design fundamentally different to the of the steer positions or trailer.

The tread patterns of the drive tires are deeper and more aggressive than those of steer or trailer, with areas of espacio more wide between the blocks that allow the tire agarrar the via under power. The depthes typicals range from 20/32 a 30/32 of inch (o 20mm a 24mm in specifications metrics), providing a reserva deep of rubber usable that extends service life under the conditions of high wear of the axle drive. The compound should balancesr two requirements oputhese: being the sufficiently soft for adsuitablerse the unevenidadis of the via and generate drive, but the bastante hard for resist the accelerated wear propio of the axle drive.

The design of the shoulder of a drive tire determina your category of application. The closed-shoulder tires connect the blocks outer with a rib continuous, creating a edge liso that reduces rolling resistance and promovis the uniform wear on highway surfaces. The open-shoulder tires use blocks independent sestandings through wide lateral grooves that bite surfaces wet, snowy or looses for enhanced traction in conditions variables. The mixed-service tires combine elementos of both designs with compounds reinforced that resist cuts and tears on construction sites unpaved.

For fleet managers, the drive tire selection has a impact direct and measurable in diesel savings, the driving safety and the cost per kilometer. The drive position wears tires faster than those of steer or trailer due to the forces of torthat involved, making of the cost of tires a rubro significant in the budgets operating. The drive Hanksugi tires design with compounds of uniform dispersion of coal, optimized geometry of blocks and construction of belt of steel multilayer to deliver a mileage competitive in all categories while keep the traction performance that keeps the trucks operating with safety in all conditions.

Drive Tires: Closed vs. Open Shoulder

The decision most important to the choose a drive tire for commercial truck is choose between tread closed-shoulder designs and open shoulder. Each architecture serves a profile operating different, and choose the inright can coastr thousands in fuel consumption excessive or replacement premature of tires.

Closed Shoulder

  • Ribs of shoulder connected form a tread of contact continuous in the edge of the rolling tread
  • Lower rolling resistance by reduction of the movement of the band, saving 2-4% in diesel
  • Wear uniform and predecible in all the carone of the tread for maximum potential of mileage
  • Ride quieter at highway speeds due to the structure of rib continuous
  • Ideal for: Long distance interestatal, drop-and-hook, operations line-haul

Selection of Drive Tires by Application

The drive proper tire depends on where and how operate your trucks. Each application imposes requires different to the axle drive, and choose a tire acorde to the work cycle deliveries the better combination of mileage, drive and cost per kilometer.

Long-Haul / Interestatal

The fleets interstate that cover more than 160.000 km per year need closed-shoulder drive tires that maximicen diesel savings and amongguen a uniform wear during the longs kms between changes. The HS88, with your block design central hexagonal and tread of 29/32", is the recommendation major for this application. The compounds of low rolling resistance pagan alone in diesel savings during the tire life, and the pattern of uniform wear extends the mileage of removal compared with alternatives of open shoulder. Priorizthe low rolling resistance and the potential of uniform wear to the evaluate tires for long routes-haul.

Regional / Collection and Delivery

The regional routes involve frequent stops, turns and exposure to conditions climatic varied that demand more to a drive tire that a route straight of highway. The open-shoulder tires as the HS68 provide the drive lateral and the grip in wet neededs for driving urban and suburbana. The wider spacing evacuate the water faster during events of rain, and the independent blocks of the shoulder muerden the surface in maneuvers of low speed in muellis of loads and stops of deliveries. Aceptthe small commitment in rolling resistance to change of greater margins of safety and trust in all conditions.

Mixed Service / On-Off Road

The operations of construction, energy, aggregates and transport of waste combine time between paved highways and construction sites unpaved. The drive mixed-service tires as the HS84 are used compounds resistant to cuts and tears that resist rocks sharp, the gravel and the debris present in the construction sites without sacrifice performance acceptsble on-highway. The features of expulsion of stones in the ruts prevent stone drilling that can damagesr the belt package and causesr premature failures of the casing. Choose mixed-service tires when more of the 20% of the kms of its route be in unpaved surfaces or of construction.

Long-Haul Jamaica

Cumple with the standards of quality required in the Jamaican market.

Guide of Maintenance and Rotation of Drive Tires

The drive tires operate under the greater stress of any axle position in a commercial truck. The combination of torthat of the motor, forces of braking and load weight means the drive tires wear faster and are more sensibles the negligence in the maintenance than those of steer or trailer. Follow a program disciplined of maintenance protects your investment in drive tires and maximizes kms that obtienis of each play.

The inflation pressure is critical

Revisthe inflation pressure of the drive tires weekly with a pressure gauge calibrated and with tires in cold. The tires with only 10% of low pressure experience to aumento drastic in the flex of the sidewall, generating heat that degrades casing and accelerates wear in the shoulders. The excess of inflation concentrates the wear in the center of the tread and reduce the area of contact, committing the drive. Most of the drive commercial tires in configuration dual operate between 100-110 PSI for loads standard. Always consultation the load/inflation tables specifics of its model and the current weights by axle. Consider invertir in systems automatic of inflation (ATIS) for trailer axles and TPMS for drive positions for detect losses of pressure before they cause damage.

Pairing and breakage of dual

The dual of the axle drive must be paired within 4/32 of inch (approximately 3mm) in depth of band. When the dual have circumferences unevenes, the tire more small arrastra while the larger makes the greater share of the work. This creates a conditions of rubbing constant that accelerates wear in both and wastes diesel. Measure the tread depth in all drive positions every 40,000 km and rotate tires between the inner dual positions and outer for equalize the wear. To the reemplazar a sothe drive tire in a par dual, emparejto always the reemplazante with the depth of the tire rarete. Mount a tire nuewillgainst a medium desgastadto acortthe life of both.

Inspectiona damage patterns

The pre-trip and post-trip inspections should include a visual inspection of all drive tires. Busca stones lodged in the ruts, that can perforar the belt package and causesr separations if not retiran. Revisa damage in the sidewall by debris of the via or impacts vs curbs, and observa signos of damage by heat of braking as discoloration or hardening of the compound near the inner dual. The wear patterns uneven in the axle drive, as the wear type bead-punta in the blocks, typically indicar problems with alignment of suspension or tren drive that should be corrected before they destroy a set of drive tires.

Drive casing retread

Premium casings of drive Hanksugi tires are engineered for being retreaded, extending the life total of the tire throughout 3 guaranteed retreads in Jamaica. After of that the original tread alcance the depth minimum, the casing must be inspected by a plant of retread qualified using tread geometry u other method NDT for verify the integrity of the belt and the plies of the body. A casing sana standard can handle two retreads in the drive position, effectively tripling the original purchase value. To the enviar casings for retreading, remove them before the tread wears down to the wear indicators for preserve the maximum thickness of casing and retread potential.
