Hankook DL12
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Improved controllability
- Upgraded load durability
- Longer-lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Hankook DL12 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for commercial vehicles. The model is made to be mounted on drive axles.
The ribbed tread design maintains the road surface contact all the time. As a result, the steering responsiveness and driving stability are improved. This means that the steering response time is faster and more precise to the driver's instructions, while the structure is also secured against the driving and load pressure. The outer ribs firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges and enhance cornering and maneuvering during the performance. These elements together guarantee the tire's excellent controllability during the drive.
The model also boosts load and driving durability. The strengthened internal structure and durable rubber compound keep the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform under the pressure affecting it, it can easily carry and withstand heavy loads. This strong construction increase the overall load-carrying capacity and handling power, which makes this tire a perfect choice for commercial applications.
The tread life is also lengthened. In this manner, the ribbed tread design and the special silica compound protect the tire against irregular and premature wear formations. These elements work together to boost the tire's service life. The tread design evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area, while the compound slows the treadwear rate down. As a result, the slow and even wear promote longer-lasting tread life.
The Hankook DL12 also offers excellent all weather traction. This tread design and all season compound promote superb dry, wet, and winter grip. In other words, the tread design closely follows the road surface, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in versatile temperatures. Additionally, wide grooves on the tread area resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, boosting the wet weather traction. This tread design and all season compound guarantee the tire's safe performance throughout the year.
