Good commercial driver, Of course you have done various things to maintain tire wear, including checking the air pressure and vehicle wheel components regularly. However, Sometimes uneven wear on tires can still occur.
Therefore, This step needs to be perfected by using a technology that can reduce uneven tire wear.
Starting from that, Hankook offers innovation for commercial vehicles in dealing with uneven tire wear, namely by creating tires equipped with technology Smartec.
As part of the TBR tire portfolio, Smartec is a technological combination of five main tire performances, that is: security, mileage, anti-chip & cut, retreadability or the tire's ability to be coated with new tread, and traction.
