General Tire produces a wide lineup of rubber products for all tastes and expectations. For example, General HD2 is an innovative drive position tire developed especially for long haul use on tandem drive axles. It is an improved version of its predecessor General HD.
General HD2 presents an advanced SmartWay Verified tread compound shaped into all new tread pattern. The tread features closed shoulders combined with two rows of central blocks. The role of these elements is to improve road grip for superb traction and rapid braking.
For safety reasons, HD2 has three transversal zigzag grooves along with large central grooves that allow rapid water channel away for safe working in heavy rains. Patented innovative groove technology and 28/32" deep pattern lead to minimum stone retention to extend casing life. In addition, specialized compound resists road damage like shocks and bumps offering high mileage.
Moreover, the closed shoulder design and thick sidewall compound handle lateral forces for extra protection. Deep and aggressive center blocks offer superb traction, confident grip, and more durability, while durable casing construction promotes excellent strength for many retreads, respectively for less money spent.
At the final, General HD2 is available in the following sizes: 11R22.5, and 11R24.5, both with H and G load index, but also in 295/75R22.5, and 285/75R24.5. In conclusion, this model provides high performance, being one of the best drive position tires for highway tandem drive applications.
