Experience the Haida HD878 R/T

When it comes to the capabilities of the Haida HD878 R/T, there are a few things to consider. This model provides exceptional traction throughout the year and on versatile terrain surfaces. Apart from this, its controllability and service life are also optimized.

But, how is this possible?

Well, simply put its excellent performance is made possible with the aggressive tread design, stronger sidewalls, and durable compound blend. This combination guarantees the tire’s safer performance. Let’s take a closer look at what exactly this tire offers.

Rugged Terrain Performance

Haida designed the HD878 R/T with a special 3D tread pattern. The 3D elements across the aggressive footprint provide the necessary traction during its versatile terrain performance. They strongly grip the driving surface by generating additional biting edges.

What does this mean in relation to the tire’s performance?

The optimized tread elements ensure the HD878 R/T’s secure on- and off-road application. The 3D elements create the traction needed to guarantee forward motion on various soft, loose, and uneven terrain surfaces. Additionally, its on-road drive is also enabled.

Lastly, the tread elements also offer exceptional self-cleaning capabilities. The wide grooves, staggered blocks, and 3D elements eliminate mud, snow, and rocks stuck in the footprint. As a result, mud and snow do not pack between the tread elements and block the surface contact, further enhancing the tire’s driving safety levels.

Excellent On-road Comfort

Rugged terrain tires also ensure high driving comfort levels throughout its on-road drive. That is where their secret is: they offer the best off-road traction without sacrificing on-road comfort.

Therefore, these Haida tires are no different. Haida RT models utilize different technologies to make this possible. The HD878 R/T’s 3D tread block placement reduces road and tread pattern noise reaching the vehicle’s cabin. While the tires are in motion, this pattern channels airwaves through the footprint, preventing sound wave formations.

As sound waves do not reach the vehicle’s cabin, the passengers’ driving enjoyment is guaranteed.

Elongated Tread Life and Usability

Haida tires are known for their durability, without breaking the bank. They offer budget-friendly options for your light trucks and SUVs, while also bringing quality. Therefore, when it comes to the service life of the Haida HD878 R/T, it optimizes its tread wear and promotes damage resistance.

The stability of the footprint, the deeper grooves, and wear-resistant compound materials optimize the tread wear rate. They effectively combat premature and irregular wear along the tread area. This combination makes sure the tire significantly boosts its overall usability.

Furthermore, these Haida tires also guarantee excellent damage resistance. It was manufactured with a special anti-collision sidewall design in order to avoid punctures, impact damage, cuts, etc. In other words, external damage cannot shorten the tire’s service life.

  • Rugged, off-road terrain traction
  • Better on-road comfort levels
  • Lengthened service life

Cons:

  • Not the best wet and winter traction
