Safe on the road at any kind of weather

The tires of trucks are mostly broader than the ones of cars. Truck tires have a higher tyre cross-section. From a certain size onwards are truck tires can be cut. This means, that the tire gets a deeper tread. These tires are called “regroovable”. Therewith increases the mileage up to 30% and the fuel savings to 5%. These tires have a high rubber density, so that the tread depth can be trimmed up to 4mm when the tire is bald.
Furthermore are worn tires not disposed, when the carcass is unimpaired the tire gets refurbished. The aging process of tires is accelerated by external factors like, humidity, UV radiation, heat and cold. In the composition of the tire material are certain ingredients included which extend the durability of the tire. But after 10 years a tire should be disposed.

While a car tire has a payload of 400-800 kg a truck tire with a stronger carcass is able to carry 6000 kg. The payload is also labeled as the load index. For example means a load index of 150 for a twin tire in the rear axle a payload of 13.400 kg.
A special version is the super-single tire on the rear axles. This one is not a normal twin tire but a more broadly single tire. The advantages of these special tires are that they have a low system weight and very little rolling resistance. Further it is possible to apply run flat elements in case of a flat tire. This enables to drive even with a tire failure. But the super-single tire strains the carriageway surfacing and has a low mileage. That is why these tires are not often applied.
The composition of an utility vehicle tire differs very from car tires. The rubber mixture is used for trucks and busses, for construction machines are other tires utilized.
The best-known manufacturers of tires for trucks are Bridgestone, Dunlop, Dayton, Continental, Firestone, Fulda, Goodyear, Marshal, Michelin, Pirelli, Vredestein and much more.
