Above all, we should point out that C-type tires are specially designed for P&D services, and intended to handle heavy loads. Van tires can perform on a wide range of coarse and abrasive road surfaces. These offer slow tread wear at the same time. For pickup and delivery applications, the most important aspects are durability and mileage, because vans are frequent use as work vehicles.
Hankook Vantra LT is the most outstanding tire from Hankook's van category. It features a wear resistant tread compound shaped into a four rib tread design with three straight circumferential grooves between them. These grooves help to expel rapid water from under the tire footprint. As a result, this model provides up to 14% more efficient water evacuation compared with standard van tires.
When it comes to safety on wet roads, the Vantra LT shows up to 9% improved braking distance in contrast with conventional van tires. In addition, slim bead fillers minimize the stress around the tire's area, improving durability. Best of all, the ends of two steel belt sheets placed in between the rubber layers handle the high stress when the tire moves.
Hankook Vantra LT is produced for the US market in the following sizes: 185R14C, 195/75R16C, and 195R14C. Based on the many feedbacks, this tire is also suitable for some light trucks.
