Prometeon unveils tyre range13 March 2023

The new product features six longitudinal grooves to encourage even wear, with the two outer ones larger to ensure efficient drainage of water and better driveability

Prometeon Tyre Group has released a new tyre for articulated trailers for large loads and volumes, single- or multi-axle, ideally suited for long-haul operation.

The new H02 Pro Trailer surpasses the previous Neverending Super Single and is already available throughout Europe and in Turkey in the following sizes: 435/50R19.5 and 445/45R19.5.

Compared to the previous range, the H02 Pro Trailer tyres offer improved safety (+20%, thanks to the greater wet grip performance, 3PMSF approval and new tread design); load capacity (+10%, up to 10 tonnes per axle); and reduced rolling resistance (-20%) for lower fuel consumption.

The H02 Pro Trailer includes a range of solutions:

• SWITe (Spiral Wire Technology) – The cable of the zero-degree spiral belt has a new geometry and an increased diameter, promoting durability and resistance
• HR4B (High Resistance 4 Belts) – Belt configuration designed to maximise the flexibility and structural strength of the casing, helping to improve handling, durability and retreadability
• SHTB (Super High Tensile Belt) – Cords are made with high-strength steel, providing high flexibility and preventing propagation of corrosion, ensuring the integrity and longevity of the casing
• COBe (Cross Over Bead) – The reinforced bead, in combination with the new geometry of the metal threads, provides great flexibility, strength and high load capacity
• DLTC (Dual Layer Tread Compound) – The outer layer provides high mileage, improved road-holding and shortened braking distances; the inner layer helps limit heat build-up and provides lower rolling resistance with greater tread integrity.

The new product features six longitudinal grooves to encourage even wear, with the two outer ones larger to ensure efficient drainage of water and better driveability. The four central grooves are narrower to increase tread rigidity and guarantee the maximum mileage and lowest fuel consumption without performance compromises in the wet.

The ribs feature special cylindrical ducts’ which promote stability and braking in the wet, while the central grooves feature variable geometry to offer excellent wet handling throughout the tyre’s lifespan, with reduced noise for improved acoustic comfort outside the vehicle.

Like the whole Serie 02 series, the H02 Pro Trailer range has 3PMSF winter marking and is fitted with an RFID (radio frequency identification device) sensor.

Alexandre Bregantim, chief technical officer at Prometeon Tyre Group, said: “Thanks to the investments we have made in R&D over the last two years, the overhaul of the range and the introduction of the new Serie 02 lines will only accelerate in 2023.”
