Hankook TH22

The tread design closely follows the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather conditions to ensure a safer performance. The circumferential grooves resists hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. Their zigzag pattern also manages to maintain a clean footprint by eliminating snow and ejecting rock from between the tread elements. In this manner, the tire resists stone retention, which may cause harm to the tire's casing, while ensuring a secure driving experience.

It manages to stabilize the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting it, while it boosts the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the towing vehicle's instructions. The smooth shoulder design further increases the tire's road contact area. The better road contact upgrades the length of the tread life by evenly distributing the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthen the tread life and usability by preventing irregular tread wear.

It lowers the belt deformation that, in turn, decreases the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tire that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The lower the rolling resistance is the lesser the towing vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions becomes, promoting a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly performance.

They work together to prevent the deformation of the tire's structure under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. This enables the tire to carry and withstand heavy loads with ease and promote a safer durability throughout the tire's lifetime.
