• Tread Pattern: 104/102S – the tread depth is 104 mm on the outer shoulder and 102 mm in the center, providing a balanced contact patch for optimal handling.
• Load Index & Speed Rating: 8PR – capable of carrying heavy loads while maintaining safe performance at speeds up to 180 km/h (S rating).
• Colour and Finish: Interior reflector with a chrome finish, enhancing visibility and aesthetic appeal.
• Compliance: RoHS compliant – free from hazardous substances such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium.

Tread Design & Performance Features

The tyre’s tread layout is meticulously crafted to maximize traction in diverse driving conditions. The wide circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water, reducing the risk of hydroplaning. Meanwhile, the asymmetric sidewalls provide improved cornering stability and reduced road noise.

Specialised rubber compounds are employed throughout the tread and shoulder areas, offering:

• Enhanced Wet Grip: The compound’s high elasticity ensures consistent contact with wet surfaces, improving braking performance.
• Long‑Lasting Wear: Durable silica‑based materials resist abrasion, extending the tyre’s service life even under heavy load.
• Fuel Efficiency: Low rolling resistance contributes to better fuel economy for commercial operators.
