The tread is exceptionally wide on the Hankook\u2019s truck winter specialist for the drive axle, increasing the contact area between tyre and surface and improving grip and handling. In addition, the tread design with five main drainage grooves improves hydroplaning safety.<\/p>\n<p>The trailer tyre SmartControl TW01, designed as a 5-rib tread, stands out due to its excellent braking performance on wet, snow and ice-covered roads. This is guaranteed due to the inner three ribs with so-called Multi-3D sipes. The 3D sipes also provide the tread blocks with a high degree of stability which results in uniform tread wear and increased mileage and fuel efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParticularly as the winter gets under way, drivers and fleets must be equipped to face the toughest of wintry conditions in order to avoid expensive downtimes and arrive safely at their destination. Hankook is extremely well prepared and its complete winter solution SmartControl optimum offers snow traction and safety, while maintaining a high mileage and top braking performance,\u201d says David Thorpe, TBR Sales Manager for the UK market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hankook is getting ready for winter with its SmartControl AW02 tyre \u2013 a winter specialist for trucks than can be used both on the steering axle as well as at all other positions.
