Falken GI-378

The optimal tread design features continuous shoulder ribs that maintain the tire's surface contact throughout the drive. This allows the model to improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. The better driving stability ensures the driver's full control over the entire vehicle. It stabilizes the tire during the drive, which enables its all position application, ensuring that the trailer will precisely follow the hauling truck. As a result, the tire promotes a safer driving experience.

The grooves feature small stone ejecting knobs which eliminate and eject stones which get stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, stones cannot drill into the tread area and harm the belt package and the casing. This significantly lowers the downtime these tires face, improving its performing hours.

The ideal tread design and the stronger compound work together to avoid irregular wear formations. The tread design, with the solid shoulder ribs, ensures even pressure distribution along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively prevent even wear across the tire footprint. On the other hand, the compound prevents premature wear by decreasing the tread wear rate with the wear-resistant rubber elements. The result is a lengthened service and tread life.
