Travelstar HF288
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Trailer tire, NOT FOR LIGHT TRUCKS
- Enhanced controllability
- All weather traction
- Upgraded durability
OVERVIEW
The Travelstar HF288 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for trailers. This tire is NOT MEANT TO BE MOUNTED ON LIGHT TRUCKS, as its construction will not support the weight and performing style of such vehicles. It can ONLY BE MOUNTED ON TRAILERS.
The model enhances the all season performance. The symmetric ribbed tread design and the all season compound improve the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The compound manages to keep the rubber flexible in various temperatures, while the detailed tread design improves the grip on the road surface with additional biting edges. The circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, actively preventing hydroplaning, which further upgrades the wet and winter weather driving safety.
The tread design enhances the controllability. The symmetric ribbed tread design maintains the surface contact at all times, which improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the towing vehicle's instructions, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread pattern, in this manner, allows the tire to boost the towing vehicle's control over the trailer, promoting a safer towing capability.
The HF288 increases the load durability. The stronger steel belt structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. This construction enables the tire to carry and withstand heavy loads, which greatly upgrades the load capacity. The structure also allows the tire to protect its casing from external damage. The steel belt reinforcement prevents punctures, cuts and impact damage from shortening the tire's service life. This combination improves the tire's overall load capacity and driving safety.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
