What Does a Gran Tyre for Truck of Long-Haul

The transport of long-haul is the columna vertebral of the flete New Zealand. A prime mover that recorre the corridors road between distribution centres covers of 160,000 a 240,000 kilometres to the year, and the tyres in that truck are the higher cost variable after of the fuel. Elegir the tyres right for long-haul no is a cuestión of preference: is a decision financiera that affects the consumption of fuel, the intervalos of maintenance and the total cost of property in each kilometre of each route.

The feature definitoria of a verdadera tyre of long-haul is the low rolling resistance. Every revolution of a tyre of truck requires energy for deformar the tread and the sidewall a size that the footprint of contact moves through your superficie. The tyres with lower hysteresis -- the energy lost as heat during each cycle of deformation -- require less fuel for maintain the speed. On a combination prime mover Clase 8, the tyres represent aproximadamente the 30% of the rolling resistance total. A reduction of the 10% in the rolling resistance of the tyres translates in aproximadamente a 3% of reduction in the consumption of fuel. A 75.700 litros by year and the pricing actuales of the diésel, that is a difference measurable in the presupuesto operativo of each truck of the fleet.

More beyond of the rolling resistance, a tyre of long-haul must offer a wear predecible and uniform across your cara of rolling. The driving in highway a speeds sustained produces a pattern of wear different to regional service of start-up and parada. The better long-haul tyres use geometrys of tread and formulations of compounds that se wear evenmente of shoulder a shoulder, allowing to the managers of fleet predecir the intervalos of retiro with trust and programr the cambios of tyres during the windows of maintenance planifieverys, instead of lidiar with failures in highway. El even wear also preserves the features of efficiency of fuel of the tyre a along all your service life, since a tyre with wear uneven generates more rolling resistance that a with a perfil of band consistent.

The capacity of retreading is the tercer pillar of the economy of the tyres for long-haul. A casing of tyre premium represents aproximadamente the 60% of the total cost of the tyre, while tread rubber represents nearby of the 40%. When a tyre of long-haul reaches the depth minimum of band in a truck well mantenido, the casing below aún must have a life structural significativa. Retread that casing with rubber new costs aproximadamente between the 30-40% of a tyre new, allowing effectively to the fleet obtain two or three cycles of life of a sola purchase of casing. That is why the quality of the casing importa both as the performance of the band in the choice of tyres for long-haul: a tyre that delivers a strong mileage original but destruye your casing in the process is a bad investment comparesda with a that maintains the integrity of the casing for 3 retreads guaranteed.

Low Resistance to the Rolling: El Standard of Efficiency of fuel

The program low rolling resistance provides a independent third-party verification of that a tyre meets with thresholds specific of rolling resistance. For fleets of long-haul, the technology of low rolling resistance no is only a credential environmental: is a indicator direct of the performance of efficiency of fuel. The tyres with low rolling resistance have been probadas in equipment of laboratory standardised and confirmed as inferiores to the thresholds of rolling resistance establecidos by the EPA for commercial truck tyres. All the tyres Hanksugi New Zealand for long-haul feature technology of low rolling resistance, confirming that meet with these standards of efficiency of fuel in positions of steering, drive and trailer.

Many larges generators of freight and operators logísticos now require use of tyres efficient of your carriers aliados, which includes use tyres with low rolling resistance. Operar with tyres with low rolling resistance on all positions of a combination prime mover can contribute to the puntaje general of efficiency energética of a fleet, which can be an advantage competitive when bidding for contracts of flete with generators of freight environmentalmente aware.

A solution complete of steer tyres, drive and trailer for operations of long-haul by highway. Every tyre of this line is with low rolling resistance and built about a retreadable casing.

Cost per Kilometre: The Metric of Long-Haul that Importa

The price of purchase is the number less important to the evaluate the truck tyres for long-haul. The metric that determina the cost real of a tyre is the cost per kilometre (CPK): the expense total in a tyre split by the total of kilometres that delivery. El CPK captura the purchase price, the impact in fuel, the cost of maintenance and the value of retreading of the casing in a only number that allows a comparison direct between two options of tyres, regardless of your pricing of label.

Para calcular the CPK of a tyre for long-haul, comience with the cost of acquisition of the tyre new. Agregue the impact estimado of the cost of fuel during the service life of the tyre, which requires learn aboutr the coeficiente of rolling resistance of the tyre in ratio with alternativas. Reste the credit by retreading: the value of the casing when leaves for retreading, that depends on the condition of the casing and of the cost ofl retreading front a a tyre new. Divide the total by the number of kilometres that the tyre delivered from new up to your retiro. El CPK resulting it gives a comparison equivalent that considera all the factors financieros, no only the purchase price.

Para the fleets of long-haul, the cálculo of the CPK almost always favorece a the tyres premium about the alternativas economics. A tyre that costs a 15% more to the momento of the purchase but delivers a 25% more than mileage and produces a retreadable casing has a CPK more under that a tyre more barata that se wears faster and cuyo casing no is apto for retreading. The tyres Hanksugi for long-haul are designed for offer a CPK competitive through the combination of service life extended of the band, fuel savings by low rolling resistance and retreadable casings of high quality that supporting 3 cycles of retreading guaranteed of band.

Understanding the Total Cost of the Tyre

The total cost of operar a tyre in a truck of long-haul includes severel componentes more beyond of the purchase price. El impact of the fuel is the higher cost oculto: a tyre with higher rolling resistance costs more by kilometre in fuel that a alternativa of low resistance with low rolling resistance, and that cost se acumula in each kilometre of the life of the tyre. The costs of time dead by failures in highway relacionadas with tyres are another factor; a reventón or deflated in a highway interestatal can costar between USD 500 and USD 1.000 or more in service of emergency in highway, retrasos of freight e ingresos perdidos. The tyres premium for long-haul with better construction and resistance to the heat reduces the probability of these costly eventos. Finalmente, the value of retreading of the casing agrega a credit for compensar the price of purchase original, reducing effectively the CPK for the tyres that maintain the integrity of the casing during all your service life of band.

Long-Haul vs Tyres Regionales: Choosing the Application Correcta

The error more común that cometen the managers of fleet to the seleccionar tyres is operar tyres regional in routes of long-haul, or viceversa. These two categorys of application require designs of tyres fundamentally differents, and emparejar badly the tyre with the application desperdicia money already is by exceso of fuel consumption or by wear prematuro.

Tyres for Long-Haul

  • Resistance to the rolling: Minimizada through designs of closed shoulder, depths of empty reducidas and compounds of low hysteresis
  • Patrón of band: Shoulder cerrado in drive, ribs rectas in steering and trailer for stability in highway
  • Compound of band: Formulations hard and resistant to heat that resist the wear central a speeds sustained of highway
  • Depth of band: Deep (29/32" in HS88 drive) for intervalos of retiro extended in high-speed routes mileage
  • Patrón of wear: Wear uniform of shoulder a shoulder optimised for driving in line recta in highway
  • Ideal for: Line interestatal, drop-and-hook, operations of freight complete (TL) that excedan the 80% of kilometres in highway
  • Models Hanksugi: (drive), / (trailer), HS36 (steering)

Tyres Regionales

  • Resistance to the rolling: More high that the of long-haul due to emptys more thanep and patterns of band more aggressive
  • Patrón of band: Shoulder abierto in drive for drive in wet; sipas aggressive in steering for grip across clima
  • Compound of band: Formulations more soft and flexibles that resist the arrastre and damage by andén of stops frequent
  • Depth of band: Depth moderada optimised for drive instead of maximum mileage
  • Patrón of wear: Designed for resistir the wear uneven causado by giros, braking and maniworksites a low speed
  • Ideal for: LTL, recogida and delivery, distribution urban, routes with more thanl 40% of driving urban/suburban
  • Models Hanksugi: HS68 (drive), (mixed service)
  • See Tyres Regional →

The 80/20 rule is a useful guide: si more thanl 80% of kilometres of a truck are in highways interestatales a speeds sustained, the tyres for long-haul are the choice right. Si more thanl 20% of kilometres involucran driving urban, stops frequent, maniworksites in muelles or surfaces road mixed, the tyres regional will offern a better performance of total cost a pesar of your higher rolling resistance. Para operations that se find in the medio, considere the for axles of drive since your band deep offers cierta versatility, and consulte with your dealer Hanksugi for a analysis specific of route.

Schoice of Tyres for Long-Haul Position by Position

Every position of axle in a combination prime mover of long-haul has demands differents. Emparejar the right tyre with each position maximiza the performance and minimises the cost across the vehículo.

Position of Steer

The axle of steering requires a answer of manejo precisa and a even wear across the cara of the band. The steer tyres for long-haul usan designs of múltiples ribs with grooves circumferenceles rectos that channel the water outside the footprint of contact and maintain the directional stability a speeds of highway. The HS36 features technology anti-wear uneven that prevents the wear escalonado of the shoulder común in steer tyres, extending the mileage of retiro and maintaining the precision of steering during all the service life of the tyre. The compounds of low rolling resistance maintain low the costs of fuel without sacrificar the grip in wet. The depths of band of 12mm a 16,5mm equilibran the mileage with the management of the heat a speeds sustained of highway.

Drive Position

The axle of drive transmite engine torque to the highway and is the point main of drive for acceleration and braking. Para long-haul, a design of closed shoulder as the of the offers the lower rolling resistance of any configuration of tyre of drive. El design of bloque central hexagonal of the HS88 distribuye the estrés evenmente across the cara of the band, and your depth of band of 29/32" provides a service life extended that justifica your positionamiento premium. The ribs of closed shoulder create a band of contact continua that reduces the bamboleo and noiseido of the band, and the compound of dispersion uniform of carbon maintains features consistent of drive a size that the tyre se desgasta. Para fleets that recorren more than 160,000 kilometres annual by truck, the HS88 is the recommendation main for all the positions of axle of drive.

Position of Trailer

The trailer tyres ruedan libremente without power of the motor, which does that the rolling resistance is the factor of performance dominante. Every libra adicional of rolling resistance in a tyre of trailer is puro waste of fuel. The and the are designed específicamente for service of trailer of long-haul with compounds of low hysteresis and patterns of band simplificados that minimise the loss of energy. The HS86T agrega a pack of four belts of steel for higher resistance a punctures in routes where the desechos in the road are a concern, offering seguro against the costsas llamadas of service in highway that resultan of failures in trailer tyres. Ambos models feature technology of low rolling resistance and have retreadable casings. Para fleets operating drop-and-hook where the trailers permanecen inactivos between loads, the stability of the compound of the familia HS86 during periods of rest extended ayuda a prevent the flattening.

Betteres Prácticas of Maintenance of Tyres for Long-Haul

The difference between obtain 290.000 kilometres of a juego of tyres for long-haul and obtain 400.000 kilometres no is the tyre, is the program of maintenance. The tyres for long-haul are designed for deliveryr the maximum mileage, but only when the truck that the supports is rightmente mantenido and the tyres same reciben service constante.

Management of the Inflado

The inflated adequate is the most important factor in the service life of the tyres for long-haul. Verifique all the pressures of the tyres semanalmente with a calibrated gauge when the tyres are cold, no when are hot after of horas of operation in highway, since this can inflar the lecturas in 10-15 PSI and enmascarar hazardous underinflateds. A tyre that is 20% subinflada pierde aproximadamente the 25% of your service life of band due to the wear excesivo of the shoulder and generates significativamente more heat, which degrada the casing and reduces the powerl of retreading. The drive tyres for long-haul in dual configuration típicamente operate a 100-110 PSI for freight standard, but always consulte the tables of load/inflation for your specific tyre model and weights real of the axle. Invertir in systems of monitoring of pressure of tyres (TPMS) that alertan to the drivers about caídas of pressure in time real se pays only to the prevent the damage in casevery that ocurre when a tyre operate subinflada by periods extended.

Alignment and Suspension

En a truck of long-haul that recorre 193,000 kilometres by year, even a small error of alignment in the axle of steering destruye the tyres a a ritmo alarmante. A badly alignment of convergence of only 1,5 millimetres arrastra each tyre of steering lateralmente aproximadamente 2,4 metros by each kilometre route. A along 193,000 kilometres, that are almost 320 kilometres of arrastre lateral in each tyre of steering, suficiente for desgastar prematuramente the shoulder of the band and create the pattern of wear plumeado that is the signo revelador of badly alignment. Check alignment of the axle of steering each 80.000 kilometres and always that a driver reporte a jalón or deviation. En the axles of drive and trailer, verifique the tracking of the axle (ángulo of empuje) for ensuresr that the dual run straight and don't rub against each other.

Pairing of Duals

The dual of the axle of drive must be matched within 3,2mm of depth of band. When a dual is of lower diameter that your par, gira faster and arrastra against the pavement, creating a condition of arrastre internal that wastes fuel and wears ambas tyres of manera uneven. Mida the depth of band on all drive positions each 40.000 kilometres and rote interior a exterior according to is necessary to even out wear. Al replace a sola tyre in a dual pair, always empareje the replacement with the circumference of the tyre remaining. No empareje a tyre new with a even medio gastada.

Maximising the Value of Retreading

Retire the long-haul tyres for retreading before that the tread se wear more beyond of indicators of wear. Operar a tyre more beyond of the depth minimum of band no saves money: arriesga damage the casing and elimina the option of retreading that represents the better retorno about the investment original of the tyre. Al remove tyres for retreading, inspeccione damage that could comprometer the integrity of the casco: cuts or enganches in the sidewall, damage in the área of the talón, separations of belt visibles as protuberancias or abultamientos, and damage by heat of eventos of underinflated. Almacene the casings removed in a área clean and dry far of the luz solar and equipment generators of ozono. Envíe the casings a a retreadedr qualified within 30 days posteriores to the retiro.

Questions common about tyres for truck of long-haul, choice of tyres for prime movers and maintenance of tyres for prime movers.

What does that a tyre is good for the transport of long-haul?

A good tyre for truck of long-haul combina low rolling resistance for efficiency of fuel, tread deep for extended mileage, features of even wear for intervalos of retiro predecibles, and a retreadable casing that extends the investment total in tyres through 3 cycles of retreading guaranteed. The technology of low rolling resistance confirms that a tyre meets with standards of the EPA for low rolling resistance, which can save to the fleets between 2-4% in costs of fuel. The better long-haul tyres also feature compounds resistant to heat that maintain the structural integrity a speeds sustained of highway during hundreds of miles of kilometres.

How many kilometres should durar the tyres of a truck of long-haul?

The tyres premium of drive for long-haul in trucks well mantenidos típicamente deliver between 240,000 and 400.000 kilometres before reaching the depth minimum of band, depending on the weight of the load, the terrain and the prácticas of maintenance. The steer tyres in service of long-haul comúnmente reach between 240,000 and 320.000 kilometres. The trailer tyres, that experimentan less arrastre that the of drive, can reaching between 320.000 and 480.000 kilometres. These cifras asumen a management adequate of inflated, alignment and distribution of load. El retreading of a casing of quality can agregar other 160,000 a 240,000 kilometres by cycle of retreading.

Cuál is the difference between long-haul tyres and regional?

The long-haul tyres are optimisesdas for speeds sustained of highway with stops minimums, prioritisedo the low rolling resistance, the efficiency of fuel and the even wear of the band. The tyres regional are designed for driving frequent of start-up and parada with more giros, maniworksites in muelles and surfaces road varied, prioritisedo the drive and the resistance to the arrastre. The drive tyres for long-haul típicamente usan designs of closed shoulder, while the drive tyres regional usan patterns of open shoulder for better grip across climate. Use long-haul tyres in regional service can causar wear uneven prematuro, while use tyres regional in routes of long-haul wastes fuel.

Vale the pena use tyres with low rolling resistance for fleets of long-haul?

Yes. The tyres with low rolling resistance are probadas and certified of manera independent for meet with thresholds of low rolling resistance. Para a fleet of long-haul, the tyres represent aproximadamente the 30% of the rolling resistance total, which affects directamente the consumption of fuel. The tyres with low rolling resistance can reduces the costs of fuel between 2-4% in comparison with alternativas no verifieverys. On a truck that consumes 75.700 litros by year, a savings of the 3% in fuel to the pricing actuales of the diésel produces savings annual significativos by truck. Para fleets of severel trucks, the impact acumulativo is sustancial. All the tyres Hanksugi New Zealand for long-haul feature technology of low rolling resistance.

Can retreaded the truck long-haul tyres?

Yes, the casings of the tyres premium for truck of long-haul are designed específicamente for retreading. The tyres Hanksugi for long-haul use construction of belts of steel multicapa and compounds resistant to heat that preservan the integrity of the casing during all the service life original of the band. A casing in good conditions típicamente can withstand two retreads, tripling effectively the value of the purchase original of the tyre. Remove the tyres before that the band se wear more beyond of indicators of wear, maintain the inflated adequate during all the life of the tyre, and trabaje with a facility of retreading qualified that utilice tests no destructivas for verify the integrity of the casing.

What pressure of inflated must have the tyres of prime mover of long-haul?

The steer tyres for long-haul típicamente operate between 105-120 PSI depending on the weight of the axle and the size of the tyre. The drive tyres in dual configuration comúnmente funcionan a 100-110 PSI for freight standard. The trailer tyres usualmente operate a 100-110 PSI. The pressure of inflated right depends on the weight real of the axle, no of the capacity maximum of load. El sobreinflado concentrates the wear central, while the underinflated causa wear in the shoulder, accumulation of heat and damage to the casing. Always consulte the tables of load/inflation for your specific tyre model and verifique the pressure semanalmente with a calibrated gauge when the tyres are cold.
