Description

• 385/65R22.5: This indicates the tire size. Here’s a breakdown of the specifics:
  • 385: The width of the tire section in millimeters (mm).
  • 65: The aspect ratio, which is the height of the sidewall as a percentage of the width (65% in this case).
  • R: Indicates a radial tire construction.
  • 22.5: The rim diameter in inches.
• 160K: This represents the load rating of the tire. The load rating indicates the maximum weight that the tire can carry at a specific inflation pressure. In this case, 160K refers to the load capacity, which is up to 160 kg (352,740 lbs).
• 20PR: This refers to the ply rating of the tire. Ply rating is an indicator of the number of rubber layers in the tire sidewall, though it is not a direct representation of the number of plies [4, 5]. A higher ply rating generally indicates a higher load capacity and a more robust tire construction.
• TL: Means the tire is tubeless, relying on an airtight seal between the tire and the rim to hold air, instead of an inner tube.
• M+S: This indicates that the tire is an all-season tire that can be used in moderate snow conditions. The M+S symbol does not mean that the tire is a true winter tire, and it may not perform well in severe snow conditions.
• 3PMSF: This symbol indicates that the tire meets the European winter tire standards for snow and ice performance. This means that the tread pattern design and rubber compound have been tested and certified to provide improved traction on snow and ice compared to all-season tires that don’t have this symbol.

Features and Benefits (based on information found online):

• Durability and long tread life: The tread pattern of the Hankook Smart Work TM15 appears to have a deep, aggressive lug design, suggesting it’s designed for extended service life and good grip on loose surfaces [1, 2, 3]. This tread pattern design, combined with the 20PR ply rating, suggests a robust construction that can reduce operating costs for truck fleets.
• Versatility for On- and Off-Road Performance: The tread pattern design suggests that the tire can handle both highway and moderate off-road conditions, such as gravel roads or dirt tracks [1, 2, 3]. It is not intended for heavy off-road use.
• Improved Traction in All-Weather Conditions: The M+S and 3PMSF markings on the tire signify its ability to handle various weather conditions, including light winter snow and ice [2, 3]. While it may not be ideal for severe snow conditions, it provides better performance in all-weather conditions compared to all-season tires without these designations.
• High Load Capacity: The 160K load rating and 20PR ply rating indicate the tire is suitable for trailer axles on heavy-duty trucks carrying heavy loads [1].

Overall, the 385/65R22.5 Hankook Smart Work TM15 160K 20PR TL M+S 3PMSF appears to be a versatile trailer tire that offers durability, long tread life, good on-road and light off-road performance, improved traction in all-weather conditions, and a high load capacity. It is a good choice for trailers on heavy-duty trucks operating on a variety of terrains.
