Specific for drive axles, benefits of new structure and compounds, enriched in silica and nano filler to provide lower rolling resistance and better mileage.
H Low Severity: products designed for long-haul transport vehicles on motorways or arterial roads with very low specific tread-wear conditions.
ENERGY™ EFFICIENT: Low rolling resistance and reduction of fuel consumption and CO2 emission.
HIGH MILEAGE: Improved mileage and longer first tyre life.
HIGH RETREADABILITY: Reusable tyres, thanks to high retreadability and recyclable highly aromatic oil free (HAOF) materials.
LOW NOISE: Lower noise emission and high acoustic comfort. Fulfils 2012 EC directive.
MORE MILEAGE, LESS FUEL CONSUMPTION. The innovative structure ensures increased tyre life and high retreadability. The new compounds, enriched in silica and nano fi ller, provide lower rolling resistance. This reduces fuel consumption and CO2 whilst improving mileage.
Increased tread width promotes mileage
Deep siping enhances: Traction during whole tyre life Better wet grip Reduced braking distance
Close tread blocks promoter: Lower rolling distance Higher land to sea ratio: greater frictionable surface area for higher traed life Very low noise generation
Directional tread pattern optimises grip on both wet and dry surfaces
Ejectors at the bottom of central grooves prevent stones trapping thus ensuring better durability and retreadability
High ties between shoulder blocks provide: Acoustic comfort Lower rolling resistance Better even wear
Specific depth indicators ease regrooving operations.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
* List prices, when available, provide a net basis for calculating sales prices between tyre manufacturers and their distributors. In no event are they selling prices that are paid or customarily paid.
**Prices include VAT and delivery within mainland UK (excl. Scottish Highlands).
