1. High density and increased depth of sipes and grooves
6% more length of biting edges until end of life interlocking with the road surfaces -> Increased traction and high removal mileage
2. Dynamic stone ejecting design
Grooves open under torque releasing trapped stones and avoiding drilling into the casing -> Improved casing protection and tire durability
3. Large shoulder grooves
Openings in the shoulder ribs create biting edges for increased traction and effectively evacuate water and mud -> High traction throughout complete tire life
4. Dual tread compound, combining two layers of different rubber
The top compound provides high abrasion resistance. The base compound offers low rolling resistance -> High mileage combined with fuel efficiency
5. Regular footprint pressure distribution
The KMAX D GEN-2 Casing has been adapted and shows a stable contact pressure over the tire life -> High mileage in a wide range of applications and load conditions; regular wear until end of tire life
An RFID tag is embedded inside the tire and allows simple identification and connectivity to tire management and tracking systems.
The RFID contains ISO standard information as per SGTIN96 coding.
Tires can communicate with a cloud network on an individual serial number level and allow therefore a much better tire flow management.
