Hi-Run H187
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Enhanced controllability
- Year-round traction
- Upgraded load durability
- Longer-lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Hi-Run H187 is a highway terrain, all season tire made 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 promotes great all weather traction. In other words, the ribbed tread pattern closely follows the road surface in summer and winter conditions. At the same time, the special silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. These elements enhance the tire's dry, wet, and winter grip. Circumferential grooves protect the tire on wet roads. These grooves effectively resist hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, guaranteeing a safe driving experience.
The ribbed tread design and the durable rubber compound maintain road contact at all times. It upgrades the tire's steering responsiveness and towing stability. In this manner, these elements increase the tire's steering response time and accuracy to the towing vehicle's commands. The structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. Excellent cornering is also upgraded, thanks to the outer ribs and rounded shoulders. These elements significantly improve the overall controllability and maneuvering during the performance.
The reinforced internal structure and the durable rubber compound keep the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. They do not allow the tire to deform under large loads. As a result, the tire is able to easily carry and withstand heavy loads. This significantly increases the tire's load-carrying capacity and handling power, making this model perfect for trailer applications.
The Hi-Run H187 ensures a longer-lasting tread life. The ribbed tread design and the special silica compound actively resist irregular and premature wear formations on the tread area. This optimal pattern evenly distributes the driving pressure along the footprint, while the rubber compound slows the treadwear rate down. The reduced and even wear lengthens the tire's service life.
This is a bias ply or diagonal tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller diagonal tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire's non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire's ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.
The photo is a representation of the tire's possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application.
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.
