Neu-Isenburg, Germany – According to Hankook, the design of its new Smartflex tubeless all-season truck tires for medium- to long-haul use was prompted by “unpredictable weather throughout the year, with annual seasons getting more extreme.”
The Smartflex AH31 is a five-rib steer axle tire for medium to long haul, and the DH31 is the corresponding six-rib drive axle tire. Both are available in sizes 295/80 R 22.5, 315/80 R 22.5 and 315/70 R 22.5.
According to Hankook, a three-dimensional full-depth kerf solution gives a particularly even wear pattern, increasing mileage, and for the DH31, a consistently high traction performance even in the later stages of wear.
