Hankook Tire has entered the trailer tire segment with its Vantra Trailer which will fit most popular trailer applications.
The Vantra Trailer will be released in nine sizes, while the Vantra Trailer for high loads (TH31) will be released in three sizes. The products are built to perform on vehicles such as campers, fifth wheel trailers, travel trailers, flatbed/hauling trailers, boat trailers and horse trailers.
The Vantra Trailer features a high stiffness pattern block and decoupling grooves optimized for heavy-duty performance. Its structure is built for enhanced durability and stability as well as improved traction in all road conditions.
The Vantra Trailer for high loads (TH31) is designed with a main zig-zag groove that according to Hankook “provides excellent traction and water drainage under various road conditions, as well as asymmetric grooves that helps eject stones.”
The tire also features an all-steel radial structure for maximum durability as well as a new compound mixing system called Innovation Mixing System (IMS) that is designed to minimize disconnection of polymer chains and oxidation for improved durability.
"As our first-ever products in the Trailer Tire segment, we wanted to develop tires that would deliver exceptional performance and stability in heavy duty conditions," said Kijong Kil, Vice President of RE Development. "Both products are designed to withstand heavy loads and perform on a variety of road conditions, which are essential for trailer applications."
Vantra Trailer tires are available now.
