Hankook Smart Flex AH35

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Fuel efficient drive
• Excellent durability

OVERVIEW

The Hankook Smart Flex AH35 is a highway terrain all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. The tire model is made to be mounted on the vehicle's steering axle.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The tread design features wide circumferential grooves and specially placed 3D sipes to increase the dry， wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface throughout the year and ensure a secure performance. The wide grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced traction and effective hydroplaning prevention provide a safer driving experience all year.

The ribbed tread design and the strengthened internal structure work together to offer constant road contact. The tire's better contact with the road surface improves its controllability， in other words， its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands， while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. As a result， the tire is easily controlled in all conditions.

The 3D siping detail and the optimized rib stiffness lessen the model's rolling resistance by lowering the amount of heat generated during the drive. The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tires that determine how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The decreased rolling resistance reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions， providing a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly performance.

The tread design's 3D siping detail and the tire's wider footprint lengthen the tread life. They keep the tire's road contact and allow the tread to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration， cornering and braking avoid uneven tread wear from forming along the tread area. This increases the tire's tread life and usability， making it more cost efficient.

The Smart Flex AH35 guarantees excellent durability. The construction's reinforced carcass structure does not allow the tire's shape to deform under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. The stronger structure is capable of carrying and withstanding heavy loads with ease， ensuring a secure driving experience.
