Ancra International, www.ancracargo.com, 800-233-5138 All-position, long-haul drive tires TP Commercial Solutions' Formula Driver II tire is suited for long-haul and regional all-position applications as part of Pirelli's Tier II Formula brand. The company's proprietary Spiral Advanced Technology for Truck tire structure is designed to enhance uniform wear, life, handling and retreadability. An optimized tread pattern featuring siping at the groove edges helps resist irregular wear, while large circumferential grooves combined with the optimized structure facilitates added stability and handling in dry and wet conditions. Ejector elements at the bottom of the grooves help prevent stones from getting trapped, improving retreadability and durability. Pirelli's SmartWay-verified Pentathlon D long-haul drive tire is designed for high mileage, energy efficiency, even wear, high traction and high retreadability. A dual-layer tread compound is incorporated into the design to facilitate long-lasting perfor - mance, while a specialized undertread compound helps lower rolling resistance, fuel consumption and carbon-dioxide emis- sions. An optimized pattern geometry and belt evolution are en- gineered for durable even wear, and a directional tread pattern adds to grip on both wet and dry surfaces. The company's Spiral Advanced Technology for Truck tire structure combined with hexa-bead wire both contribute to retreadability.
