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.
• 164K: 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, 164K means the tire can carry up to 164 kg (361,590 lbs) at the designated pressure.
• 24PR: 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. 24PR signifies that the tire has 24 plies of material in the sidewall construction, making it an extremely 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.
• 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 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 24PR ply rating and tread pattern design suggest the Hankook Smart Flex AH51 is built for extended service life and can handle demanding applications [1, 2]. This can help to reduce operating costs for truck fleets.
• Good all-season traction with improved winter performance: The M+S and 3PMSF markings on the tire signify its ability to handle various weather conditions, including light winter snow and ice. 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 Smart Flex AH51 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].

Overall, the 385/65R22.5 Hankook Smart Flex AH51 164K 24PR TL M+S 3PMSF appears to be a versatile, all-season tire that is well-suited for regional haul applications. It is a good choice for truck fleets that prioritize durability, long tread life, fuel efficiency, and good performance in all-weather conditions, including light winter snow.
