Tires for trucks and buses are designed to be durable and able to withstand the weight and load of these large vehicles. They are typically larger and often have deeper tread patterns to provide better traction and handling. For example, the Leao ADL813 is a drive position model that is suitable for regional applications. These include short to medium haul trips that have frequent stops and starts.
One of the most important aspects of the Leao ADL813 is its unique tread pattern with a center rib and lateral blocks. This ensures powerful traction and surface contact, allowing for a smooth journey. The main rib offers superior handling and vehicle stability, especially in sharp corners. Also, solid lugs provide better road grip, thus increasing wet and dry performance. Special tie bars between the blocks enhance the tire integrity, minimizing wear. Moreover, the open shoulders promote even wear and offer better lateral grip.
In addition, the strategic placement of sipes adds plenty of biting edges that allow for easier starting as well as a shorter braking distance. Wide lateral grooves expel water from the tread area, lowering the risk of aquaplaning. Also, the stiff sidewalls with protector ribs shield the rim from road damage and improve the cornering ability. Furthermore, this model benefits from an advanced rubber compound that decreases the rolling resistance for less fuel usage. A strong internal structure delivers numerous retread cycles and supports heavy load pressure. The Leao ADL813 is available on the US market in some common sizes including 11R22.5, 12R22.5 and 315/80R22.5. Depending on the size, a different ply rating and speed symbol apply to fit a wider range of applications.
