Hankook SmartLine AL50. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Improved handling; Great load durability; Lessened fuel intake; Elongated service life; . OVERVIEW: The Hankook SmartLine AL50 is a highway terrain, all weather tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. The model is built to be mounted on all axle positions.Fuel efficiency is ensured with this model. Better traction helps to decrease the rolling resistance while the tires are in motion. The combination of the stable tread area, the carbon-silica compound, and the Innovative Mixing System (IMS) also helps reduce the rolling resistance. This is the pressure that determines the necessary fuel usage of the vehicle when in motion. Lessening the rolling resistance results in the vehicles fuel intake and CO2 emissions. The result is a fuel-conscious driving experience.The tires controllability is also improved. Great road contact is guaranteed with the ribbed tread design. In this manner, it is able to effectively enhance its steering responsiveness and driving stability. They upgrade the drivers ideal control over the vehicle throughout its performance. Additionally, the shoulder ribs generate biting edges to optimize cornering, while the treads road contact helps shorten the braking distance.Great load and driving durability are ensured with the tires reinforced internal structure. The tire utilizes its strengthened construction to achieve this. It is able to withstand load pressure throughout the performance, maintaining the optimal tire shape at all times. This helps to securely handle heavy loads with ease, increasing the tires better load durability. The model also sports the Stiffness Control Contour Technology (SCCT), which ensures even pressure distribution inside the tire to maintain its ideal shape and upgrade durability, traction, and performance.All weather traction is offered with this model. This is achieved with the detailed tread design and the all weather compound. They work together to provide the necessary number of biting edges for even harsh winter weather applications while keeping the tire pliable in various temperatures. This model can be used even in severe weather conditions. Additionally, circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions. They channel water and slush away from the footprint on wet roads and maintain surface contact at all times. Furthermore, the model reveals the hidden grooves as the tire wears, granting new tread details and biting edges for safer traction in wet weather conditions.The Hankook SmartLine AL50s tread area and compound blend boost its usability. The optimal tread design evenly distributes driving pressure along the tread area, while the sipes minimize the pressure affecting the groove edges. The stable footprint and the consistent road contact improve resilience against irregular wear formations. This enables the tire to perform for a longer period of time.All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.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.
