Hankook SmartWork DM09
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Year-round performance
- Improved controllability
- Enhanced load durability
OVERVIEW
The Hankook SmartWork DM09 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for commercial vehicles. It is designed to be mounted on drive axle positions.
The ideal tread design and the all season compound enhance year-round performance. This tread pattern maintains surface contact in all conditions, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. In this manner, the tread pattern and the rubber compound boost traction in dry, wet, and winter conditions. At the same time, wide grooves actively prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from the footprint, protecting the tire from slipping in wet situations.
The model significantly boosts controllability. The ribbed tread design, with the large elements, can easily improve steering responsiveness and driving stability. They maintain surface contact, upgrading the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. It also secures the structure against the driving pressure affecting the tire. These elements increase the number of biting edges, enhancing cornering and maneuvering. As a result, the driver has excellent control over the vehicle, offering a safe driving experience.
The Hankook SmartWork DM09 has improved load and driving durability. The reinforced internal structure and the strong rubber compound keep the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform under pressure, it can easily carry and withstand heavy loads. This combination allows this tire's safer heavy-duty performance.
