HDC1 ED

Technical Details

Tread area

Means increased resistance to cuts, chipping and chunking
Reduces the number, and most importantly the depth of any cuts and tears
Improves protection of the casing by keeping damage superficial
Results in substantially higher removal mileage, thanks to its great durability

Belt layer

Withstands highly concentrated pressure
Prevents fatigue fractures
Means enhanced traction characteristics through the stiffness of the overall structure
Protects the casing effectively and offers best retreadability in connection with highly durable steel cord bead

Tread patterns

Result in considerably higher mileage with even wear
Ensure reliable grip and good handling both on and off the road
Improve the tire’s selfcleaning characteristics and reduce stone
trapping (casing protection)
Combine high mileage with significant traction and optimum road suitability, whatever the weather conditions

Contour

Provides greater resistance to deformation caused by radial forces
Minimizes compression of the sidewalls, even with heavier loads
Counteracts premature material fatigue
Means greater load-carrying capacity and improved retreadability
