OVERVIEW

The Hankook e3 Wide TL21 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle's trailer axle. This tire is NOT MEANT TO BE MOUNTED ON LIGHT TRUCKS, as its construction will not support the weight and performing style of such vehicles. It can ONLY BE MOUNTED ON TRAILERS.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The wide footprint's six rib pattern closely follows the road surface and maintains its grip throughout the year. The 3D siping pattern and the all season tire compound work together to increase the grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. This allows the tire to increase the year round driving safety as the tread elements heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. This allows the tire to upgrade the driving safety in all weather.

The symmetric ribbed tread design's wider footprint maintains the tire's road contact at all times. This better road contact enhances the model's grip on the tire's surface, which upgrades steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the towing vehicle's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better controllability ensures a safer performing capability throughout the year.

The model offers a lengthened tread life. The directional micro-sipes and the symmetric wide footprint and solid shoulder ribs keeps a constant road contact, which upgrades the length of the tread life and the tire's usability. The wider footprint's six rib pattern enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids the formation of uneven wear along the tread area. The prevention of irregular tread wear extends the tread life and the tire's usability significantly.

The even pressure distribution eases the driving force off of the tire to promote a fuel conscious performance. The tread design's maintained road contact, with the wide footprint and the solid shoulder ribs, manages to lower the model's rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the model, which determines the amount of energy the towing vehicle needs to keep the trailer tires in motion. The reduced rolling resistance decreases the towing vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, which guarantees a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly performance.

The e3 Wide TL21 promotes a secure durable performance. The strengthened steel belt and carcass construction enhances the model's load and driving durability. The reinforced construction maintains the tire's optimal shape under the pressure affecting it, which upgrades the model's load carrying and withstanding capability. The stronger construction also prevents damage to the tire's casing. It helps resists impact damage and bruises from shortening the tire's usability. The tread's zigzag groove pattern actively avoids stone retention from harming the tire. The zigzag grooves eliminate rocks stuck between the tread elements to prevent them from damaging the casing. The better load durability and damage prevention improve the year round driving safety.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
