GDH100

The efficiency of long-haul transportation is largely determined by the characteristics of the leading tires. We are talking about those tires that are installed on the wheels that drive the vehicle. Therefore, several special requirements are imposed on tires for drive wheels, among which are increased resistance to abrasion and ensuring sufficient grip on the road surface.

Again, let's not forget that the driving axles account for a considerable part of the weight of the vehicle and the trailer, which is transported by the tractor. Therefore, tires for drive wheels, among other things, must withstand a lot of pressure and maintain their original shape, regardless of whether the trailer is empty or loaded.

Which tires meet this requirement? There are a lot of such tires because they install some kind of tires on long-haul tractors. But usually, tires that meet the previously listed requirements are not cheap. We will tell you about truck tires for driving wheels that you can buy at affordable prices.

Do you think that if the price is affordable, then the tires are of poor quality? But this is not the case, because the GDH100 tires demonstrate all the advantages that are characteristic of the leading tires in the middle and even premium price segment. Well, the affordable price - there is an explanation for this.

Why inexpensive

GDH100 tires are manufactured by the Chinese brand Green Max. The Green Max brand, in turn, is a subsidiary of the Chinese company Shandong Linglong Tire Co., Ltd. The Internet is full of information that Linglong Tire is one of the largest Chinese car tire manufacturers. And in terms of production, this company bypasses most European tire brands. But despite all these achievements, few people know about Linglong Tire and its Green Max brand outside of Asian countries.

As a result, the Chinese manufacturer has to sell tires at very attractive prices to popularize its products. It is not known how long this will continue, as with the increasing popularity of the brand and the increasing demand for these tires, their value is likely to rise. But until this happens, we take the opportunity and buy so far affordable and very high-quality tires.

Advantages and disadvantages

When choosing tires, the buyer pays attention to the advantages and disadvantages. And we will also tell you about the features of the operation of GDH100 truck tires. And first of all, we will focus on the shortcomings. Judging by the reviews, it is not possible to buy these tires everywhere, since not everywhere there are official representative offices of the brand. Of course, these tires can be bought from resellers, but then you should not count on the main advantage, namely the affordable price. Otherwise, no shortcomings were found to which you need to draw your attention.

Now, as far as the benefits are concerned, they are there and there are quite a few of them.

Wear resistance

Green Max GDH100 tires exhibit high abrasion resistance. This is partly due to the composition of the production materials used in the manufacture of the tread, and partly to uniform pressure over the entire area of ​​the tire-to-road contact patch. It must be said that high abrasion resistance is a very important advantage in terms of the operation of leading tires. Driving tires usually wear off much faster than steering or trailed tires. And, of course, the high abrasion resistance makes the Green Max GDH100 a very practical purchase.

Weatherproof

There are a lot of all-weather tires on the market today, but not all of them are. Usually, inexpensive all-weather tires either do not provide sufficient traction or soften and wear out quickly in the heat. With GDH100 tires, everything is different, since the manufacturer uses a technologically advanced rubber compound for casting the tread, which retains its rigidity without changes in the temperature range from 77 to 23 F. This suggests that the tires are suitable for full operation both in winter and summer, but in regions with mild or temperate climates.

Dynamic driving characteristics

Thanks to an efficient tread pattern and good traction, Green Max GDH100 tires allow the truck to reach the required speed faster. This is not the most important advantage, but it makes driving a long-haul truck much easier.

Resistance to weight loads

Long-haul cargo transportation involves working with large loads. And usually, the main weight of the load falls on the driving axles. Therefore, the tires are made based on a radial carcass with additional reinforcement. This allows the tires to withstand high pressures, etc., and thus maintain their original configuration. In any case, we have not met a single review where it was said about the sudden depressurization of the tire due to a rupture.

Excellent balance

Balancing your tires is important for trucking as vibrations are guaranteed to increase rolling resistance. Again, vibration accelerates tread wear. With this in mind, the manufacturer has done everything possible so that once the GDH100 tires are mounted on rims, the wheels do not have to be rebalanced. Again, let's not forget that the balanced design reduces rolling resistance, which in turn contributes to lower fuel consumption.

So, the benefits are enough, it remains to be seen how these benefits become possible.

Design features

The performance benefits of tires are primarily due to their design features, that is, what distinguishes these tires from other tires. The tires are based on a radial weave carcass. This is a forced measure since such a frame is much more resistant to stress in comparison with a diagonal frame. However, there is nothing unusual in the use of a radial carcass - many truck tires are based on the same technology. The unusual thing is the reinforcement with longitudinal all-metal belts.

These belts run along the central rib, slightly gripping the sidewalls. The use of metal reinforcement ensures that the tire retains its original shape, even under heavy load. In addition, the tire, due to its reinforcement, acquires additional resistance to mechanical deformation. As a result, the tire will not only work longer but there is also a guarantee that unplanned depressurization will not occur.

That is, the choice of Green Max GDH100 tires to a certain extent guarantees no downtime. By the way, the reinforcement of the tire with metal belts contributes to improved temperature dissipation. As a result, the tire does not overheat, which is very important given the high speeds typical of long-haul transportation.

Another important design feature of the GDH100 tires is the tread, or rather, its pattern. The combination of longitudinal and lateral grooves provides not only a good grip but also effective water drainage from the tire-to-road patch. This is a very important advantage from the point of view of the operation of freight transport in the off-season. The tire adheres perfectly to the road surface both in summer and winter.

The tread, in addition to its striking design, has a self-cleaning function. Thanks to this function, stones, and other dirt are thrown out of the tread reliefs already at a speed of over 40 mph. It is no secret that the stones, stuck in the tread for a long time, contribute to its destruction, therefore, the self-cleaning function extends the tire life.
