New construction truck tyre from Pirelli
Pirelli has launched another addition to its highly successful Series 01 truck tyre range, the G:01 gravel tyre, designed for mixed use on roads and in construction sites.
The FG:01 for steer axles and TG:01 for drive axles have a unique tread made using two different compounds to offer both cost efficiency and safety in compliance with European regulations concerning noise emissions and rolling resistance.
The external layer compound provides enhanced abrasion resistance, high mileage, even wear and high wet and dry grip. In contrast, the internal layer compound is formulated to minimise rolling resistance and impart structural integrity and longevity. Both compounds (but most notably the under tread one with high silica contents) are formulated with the aim of preventing significant heat generation, thus imparting greater robustness to the tyre.
This Dual Layer Tread Compound (DLTC) along with many other features, enable the G:01 range to achieve 30 per cent higher mileage, a 25 per cent increase in optimal tear resistance and a ten per cent higher retread rate.
The G:01 tread also features increased width for better mileage and side reinforcing belts for enhanced side impact and abrasion resistance. The tread patterns are designed to guarantee the maximum traction on unsurfaced roads and high acoustic comfort, mileage, and grip on surfaced roads.
