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 means the tire can carry up to 160 kg (352,740 lbs) at the designated pressure.
• 20PR: This refers to the ply rating, which is an indication of the tire’s construction. A higher ply rating indicates a higher load capacity and a more robust tire. 20PR signifies that the tire has 20 plies of material in the sidewall construction, making it a very strong tire designed for heavy loads.
• 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.
• 3PMSF: This symbol indicates that the tire meets the European winter tire standards for snow and ice performance. This means that the tire has 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):

• Excellent durability and long tread life: The 20PR ply rating and deep tread pattern suggest the Hankook AL10+ is designed for demanding applications and heavy loads [1, 2]. This can help to reduce operating costs for truck fleets.
• Good all-season traction with improved winter performance: The 3PMSF marking on the tire signifies its ability to handle light winter snow and ice conditions. While it may not be ideal for severe snow conditions, it provides better performance than all-season tires without the 3PMSF designation.
• Fuel efficiency: The Hankook AL10+ is also said to be fuel-efficient, due to a tread pattern design that reduces rolling resistance [2]. This can help to reduce fuel costs for truck fleets.
• Reduced noise: The tread pattern design may also help to reduce road noise [2].
• Steering performance: Designed for steer axles, the tread pattern may also enhance handling and stability for better control of the truck [2].

Overall, the 385/65R22.5 Hankook AL10+ 160K 20PR TL 3PMSF appears to be a good choice for the steer axles of long-haul trucks. It offers durability, long tread life, fuel efficiency, good performance in all-weather conditions including light winter snow, and improved handling.
