Hankook Tire America Corp has introduced three new truck and bus radial tires for a variety of applications, from short-haul to long-distance trucking.

The AM02C all-position, wide-base tire was developed for added mileage and superior traction in mixed conditions. Its tread compound and four-belt structure yield superior durability. Shoulders offer added sidewall protection, while applied tie bands prevent irregular wear and reduce noise. The square shoulder shape ensures optimal road contact.

Also new to Hankook's TBR lineup is the AM06 all-position tire. The square shoulder shape and contact pressure yield superior wear resistance, while the surface grooves provide excellent water drainage.

The new DM04 off-road drive position tire was engineered primarily for off-road conditions. It's a drive axle traction radial with deep, wide treads for high mobility. Its open shoulder offers agile maneuvering. Large tread blocks and special compound resist cuts and penetrations. Four-steel-belt structure allows maximum loads, provides fuel efficiency and high mileage.
