HATT 3+1

Helical Advanced Technology for Truck represents a breakthrough in belt package engineering. The 3+1 configuration adds a helical-wound nylon cap layer to the traditional 3-belt structure. A wider #1 belt ensures the carcass contour aligns with the tire's outer profile, improving structural integrity. A cushion between the #2 and #3 belts reduces rigidity, optimizing shoulder contact area and pressure distribution.

  • Less irregular wear through optimized footprint pressure
  • Dramatically extended tire life and better retreadability
  • Improved handling, safety, and comfort
  • Weld-free steel cords (3x7x0.22 HE / 3x7x0.20 HE) eliminate weak spots
  • Superior belt uniformity vs. older construction methods

Finite Element Method

See What Others Can't. Before a Single Tire Is Built.

Every Hanksugi tire is digitally stress-tested, thermally mapped, and structurally validated before it ever reaches the production floor.

FEM Footprint Stress Analysis

Contact Pressure Analysis

Engineered in Pressure. Proven in Motion.

This digital stress map shows how force is distributed across each tread zone. Warmer areas indicate higher stress concentration. Cooler areas reveal lower load intensity.

By analyzing this footprint at a microscopic level, engineers fine-tune rib stiffness, shoulder support, and contact balance before production. The result is smarter load distribution and a tire engineered for stability and long-term wear.

FEM Temperature Distribution

Thermal Simulation

Heat, Mapped with Precision.

Thermal simulation shows how temperature builds through the tire cross-section under load. Warmer zones near crown and bead reveal where heat concentration is highest during flex and compression.

Engineers refine material placement, structural geometry, and cooling behavior at the design stage. Better thermal balance, reduced heat in critical zones, and a casing built for durability at sustained speed.

FEM Dynamic Deformation Analysis

Structural Dynamics

Designed to Dissipate Stress Before It Becomes Heat.

The outer cross-section shows stress traveling through the casing under load. The inner 3D ring visualizes behavior in motion — where forces concentrate, twist, and redistribute through each rotation.

Engineers refine sidewall geometry, tread support, and material distribution to reduce internal strain. A structure optimized for durability, stability, and thermal control at speed.

FEM Full Tire Structure Analysis

Full-Body Analysis

A Full-Structure View of Tire Stress.

This 3D simulation maps force across the entire tire body. Every color band reveals how the structure reacts as the tire supports weight, flexes through rotation, and manages pressure across all zones.

By modeling the whole tire, engineers optimize stiffness, balance deformation, and control stress flow before physical testing begins. A tire engineered for stable handling, better load control, and longer structural life.
