Hankook DL11

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Hankook DL11 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's drive axle.

The tire promotes a lengthened tread life. The wider footprint's symmetric tread pattern and maintained road contact extend the tread life and the tire's usability. The tread features solid shoulder ribs that keep the tire's road contact at all times. The tread block's 3D siping pattern stabilizes the tread area, avoiding tread flexing. The combination of the constant road contact and the stable tread elements improves the tread life by avoiding irregular tread wear formations. This is achieved as the tread elements enable the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The longer lasting even tread wear increases the tread life and the tire's usability significantly.

The model's constant road contact enhances its controllability. The tread's constant road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The solid shoulder ribs and the stable tread elements keep the tire's contact with the road surface. The better road contact enables the tire to improve the steering response time and accuracy to the steering axle's instructions, while it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better control over the tires upgrades the driving safety of the commercial vehicle.

The DL11 offers excellent all weather traction. The symmetric tread design's 3D siping pattern enhances the grip the tire has in dry, wet and winter weather. The siping detail increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the tread elements keep the tire's contact with the road surface to improve the performance. The durable all season tire compound keeps the tire's rubber flexibility throughout the year. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint, which further boosts the wet and winter weather driving experience.
