General HS2 is a SmartWay Verified rubber product optimized for steer applications. The ribbed pattern shows high performance in line haul and highway services. Closed and solid shoulders provide superior road stability, especially in scrub conditions.
Above all, the advanced tread compound is shaped into a five rib pattern developed to lower rolling resistance for good fuel efficiency. Deep tread up to 19/32" provides increased mileage, but also high carcass integrity. Four circumferential grooves with stone ejection capacity reduce stone retention for extra tread protection. In addition, improved footprint and SmartWay verified compound deliver up to 50% more miles. Moreover, compared with its predecessor (General HS), the new HS2 presents a lot of improvements in terms of casing, mileage, durability, and tread aspect.
For safety reasons, engineers use an enhanced bead to belt package with the purpose to increases casing durability for multiple retreads. Due to this casing design, General HS2 shows great carrying capacity, while thick sidewalls support the tire. Weight improved construction ensures great speed ability up to 75mph for fast delivery.
General HS2 is present on the US market in the most popular sizes: 11R22.5, 295/75R22.5, 11R24.5, and 285/75R24.5 to cover a big part of tractors heads, special trucks, and box trucks. This model is a very suitable steer tire for Mack Pinnacle, International LT series, and Volvo FH16.
