Additional Information Hankook AM09

The 3PMS-certified Smart Work AM09 is an all-position tire for on-/off-road applications. Its Innovative Mixing System (IMS) minimizes the breakdown and oxidation of polymer chains and has a higher dispersion degree of carbon black. The effects of IMS help to strengthen the bonding force between the carbon black and rubber to ensure longer mileage and to lower the heat generation of compounds for improved fuel efficiency. Additionally, SCCT Technology is designed to reduce profile deformation. If the carcass profile is not kept constant, the internal force on the carcass will be concentrated on a specific point, belt edge or carcass turn up edge. In contrast, SCCT Technology controls the dispersion of internal force for better durability.

Highlights

• Zigzag traction grooves and optimized multi-angular kerf improve traction and braking performance by expanding the point of intersection through 4 zigzag grooves and an optimized unique sipe design without chipping or cutting
• Polygonal block and step edge groove enhances handing and improves braking performance through maximizing the edge effect
• A wide tread profile provides stability and uniformity which reduces distortion, delivering outstanding handling performance and improved tread life
• A closed shoulder design for improved driving stability
• An even wear shoulder lug helps to reduce tread temperature
• Stone ejectors ensure grooves are kept clear at all times by using an additional rubber material to force unwanted debris out
• Improved heat generation is achieved by applying a high-structure carbon black compound, which increases fuel efficiency and durability
