KUMHO steel belted radial 852

KUMHO Steel Belted Radial 852 Overview

The KUMHO Steel Belted Radial 852 is a commercial-grade tire designed for trucks and buses that demand enhanced durability, long tread life, and consistent performance under heavy loads. This tire integrates advanced radial construction with steel belts for improved strength and stability, making it ideal for both long-haul and regional applications.

Key Features

Radial Construction:

• Steel-Belted Design: Multiple steel belts provide exceptional strength and puncture resistance, allowing the tire to handle heavy loads and rough road conditions while maintaining integrity.

• Improved Stability: The steel-belted construction reduces deformation, ensuring stable handling at high speeds.

Tread Design:

• All-Position Tread: Features an all-position tread pattern, enhancing versatility for use on both steer and drive axles.

• Optimized Tread Depth: Balances long tread life with optimal traction on various road surfaces, including wet and dry conditions.

• Wide Grooves: Circumferential grooves channel water away, reducing hydroplaning risk and improving wet-weather traction.

Durability:

• Heavy-Duty Construction: The steel-belted design enhances durability, making it resistant to wear, punctures, and road damage—ideal for heavy-duty commercial vehicles.

• Cut and Chip Resistance: Made from a wear-resistant rubber compound to protect against cuts, chips, and abrasions, extending the tire’s lifespan.

Performance and Handling:

• Enhanced Traction: Delivers superior grip and dependable performance in various driving conditions.

• Smooth Ride: Engineered for a comfortable ride, minimizing road noise and vibration, especially on long hauls.

Fuel Efficiency:

• Low Rolling Resistance: The radial construction and optimized tread pattern reduce rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency and lowering operational costs—crucial for long-distance trucking.

Long Tread Life:

• Even Wear Pattern: Promotes even tread wear, reducing irregular wear and extending the tire's lifespan, making it cost-effective for fleet owners.

• Heat Dissipation: Designed to dissipate heat effectively, reducing overheating risk during long drives.

Applications

• Commercial Trucks: Suitable for heavy-duty trucks in long-haul and regional transport, ensuring reliable performance over extended periods.

• Buses: Ideal for buses requiring durable tires for both city and highway conditions.

• All-Axle Positions: Versatile for use in both steer and drive axle positions.

Advantages

• Durability: Reinforced construction withstands heavy loads and road damage, making it suitable for tough driving conditions.

• Fuel Efficiency: Low rolling resistance contributes to reduced fuel consumption, vital for long-distance commercial fleets.

• All-Weather Performance: Reliable traction and handling in various weather conditions, ensuring safe driving year-round.

Installation and Maintenance

• Installation: Professional installation is recommended for proper mounting, balancing, and alignment for optimal performance.

• Maintenance: Regularly inspect tires for wear or damage, maintain proper tire pressure, and perform periodic rotation and alignment to ensure even wear.

Safety Considerations

• Tire Pressure: Keep the tire inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure to ensure safe operation, especially under heavy loads.

• Tread Depth: Regularly check tread depth to ensure it remains within safe limits, particularly in wet conditions.

• Load Capacity: Ensure that the vehicle's load does not exceed the tire's rated capacity to prevent premature wear and possible failure.
