What Are the Drive Tyres for Truck Commercial?

The drive tyres for commercial truck se montan in axles traseros drive of vehicles commercial Clase 6 a Clase 8, where meet the function crítica of transmitir engine torque to the surface of the road. Cadonce a driver acelera, sube a slope or frena in a descent, the drive tyres are the point of contact between severel hundreds of caballos of force and the pavement. This rol demanding requires a design fundamentally different to the of positions of steering or trailer.

The patterns of band of tread of drive tyres are more thanep and aggressive that the of steering or trailer, with áreas of espacio widers between the blocks that allow to the tyre agarrar the road under power. The depths típicas go of 20/32 a 30/32 of pulgada (o 20mm a 24mm in specifications métricas), providing a reserva deep of rubber usesble that extends the service life under the conditions of high wear of the drive axle. El compound must equilibrar two requisitos opuestos: be it suficientemente soft for adapt to the unevenities of the road and generar drive, but it bastante hard for resistir the wear accelerated propio of the drive axle.

The design of the shoulder of a tyre of drive determina your category of application. The tyres of closed shoulder connect the blocks exteriores with a rib continua, creating a edge liso that reduces rolling resistance and promueve the even wear in surfaces of highway. The tyres of open shoulder use blocks independent separados by side grooves that muerden surfaces mojadas, nevadas or sueltas for a drive improved in conditions variables. The tyres of mixed service combinan elementos of ambos designs with compounds reinforced that resist the cuts and chunking in worksites unsealed.

Para the managers of fleet, the choice of drive tyres has a impact direct and measurable in the savings of fuel, the safety of drive and the cost per kilometre. The position of drive consumes tyres faster that the of steering or trailer due to the forces of torque involucradas, doing of the cost of tyres a rubro significativo in presupuestos operativos. The drive tyres Hanksugi se design with compounds of dispersion uniform of carbon, geometry optimisesda of blocks and construction of belt of steel multicapa for deliveryr a mileage competitive in all the categorys while maintain the performance of drive that maintains the trucks operating with safety in all the condiciónes.

Schoice of Drive Tyres by Application

The tyre of drive adequate depends on where and how operate your trucks. Every application impone demands distintas on the drive axle, and seleccionar a tyre acorde to the cycle of work delivers the better combination of mileage, drive and cost per kilometre.

Long-Haul / Interestatal

The fleets interestatales that cosee more of 160,000 km to the year need drive tyres of closed shoulder that maximicen the fuel savings and entreguen a even wear during the long kilometres between cambios. The HS88, with your design of bloque central hexagonal and band of 29/32", is the recommendation main for this application. The compounds of low resistance to the tread se pay solos in fuel savings during the life of the tyre, and the pattern of even wear extends the mileage of removal front a alternativas of open shoulder. Prioriza the low rolling resistance and the powerl of even wear to the evaluate tyres for routes of long-haul.

Regional / Collection and Delivery

The regional routes implican stops frequent, giros and exposition a conditions climáticas varied that require more a a tyre of drive that a route recta of highway. The tyres of open shoulder as the HS68 provide the drive lateral and the grip in wet necessary for driving urban and suburban. The espacios widers evacúan the water faster during eventos of rain, and the blocks independent of the shoulder muerden the surface in maniworksites of low speed in muelles of freight and stops of delivery. Acepta the small compromiso in resistance to the tread a cambio of higher márgenes of safety and trust in all the condiciónes.

Mixed Service / On-Off Road

Construction, energy, aggregate and waste-haul operations combine time between sealed highways and unsealed worksites. Mixed-service drive tyres like the HS84 usan compounds resistant to cuts and chunking that resist the rocks sharp, the gravel and the debris presentes in worksites without sacrificar a performance aceptable in highway.

Guide of Maintenance and Rotation of Drive Tyres

The drive tyres operate under the highest stress of any axle position in a commercial truck. The combination of torque of the motor, braking forces and weight of freight means that the drive tyres se wear faster and are more sensibles to the negligence in the maintenance that the of steering or trailer. Seguir a program disciplinado of maintenance protects your investment in drive tyres and maximiza the kilometres you get of each juego.

The pressure of inflated is crítica

Check the inflation pressure of drive tyres semanalmente with a calibrated gauge and with the tyres in cold. The tyres with only a 10% of low pressure experience a drastic increase in sidewall flex, generating heat that degrada the casing and accelerates the wear in the shoulders. El exceso of inflated concentrates the wear in the centro of the band and reduces the contact patch, compromising traction. The most of drive commercial tyres in dual configuration operate between 100-110 PSI for freight standard. Always consulta the tables of load/inflation specific to your model and weights real by axle. Considera invertir in systems automáticos of inflated (ATIS) for axles of trailer and TPMS for positions of drive for detectar losss of pressure before that causen damages.

Pairing and rotation of duals

Drive-axle duals must be matched within 4/32 of an inch (about 3 mm) of tread depth. When duals have uneven circumferences, the smaller tyre drags while the larger does most of the work. That creates a constant scrub condition that accelerates wear on both and wastes fuel. Measure the depth of band on all drive positions each 40,000 km and rotate tyres between inner and outer dual positions to even out wear. Al replace a sola tyre of drive in a dual pair, always match the replacement with the depth of the tyre remaining. Montar a tyre new against a medio desgastada shortens the life of ambas.

Inspecciona patterns of damage

The inspections pre-viaje and post-viaje must incluir a review visual of all the drive tyres. Busca stones alojadas in surcos, that can perforar the belt package and causar separations if not removedn. Check damage in the sidewall by debris of the road or golpes against bordillos, and observa signos of damage by heat of braking as discolouration or hardening of the compound nearby of the dual interior. The patterns of wear uneven in the drive axle, as the wear type talón-punta in blocks, suelen indicar problemas of alignment of suspension or tren motriz that must be corrected before they destroy a juego of drive tyres.

Retreading of casings of drive

The casings premium of drive tyres Hanksugi are designed for be retreadable, extending the life total of the tyre through 3 retreads guaranteed in New Zealand. After of that the band original alcance the depth minimum, the casing must be inspeccionada by a plant of retreading qualified using shearography u other méall NDT for verify the integrity of the belt and the plies of the cuerpo. A casing sana normalmente can withstand two retreads in the position of drive, tripling effectively the value of the purchase original. Al send casings for retreading, retíralas before that the band se wear up to the indicators of wear for preservar the maximum grosor of casing and powerl of retreading.
