The Hankook AM15 Smart Work truck tire is designed for mounting on the axles of trailers and semi-trailers. A wide-profile tire with long mileage for mixed conditions. Improved wear resistance of the carcass due to the use of rubber with low heat generation. Optimum contact patch shape to prevent uneven wear. The excellent drainage, excellent ride, and braking performance. Extra-wide tread blocks and deep grooves provide extremely long mileage. Extra-wide grooves help push stones out and provide superior traction. Open shoulder blocks with optimized bridges prevent uneven wear and provide superior traction when driving off-road. The optimized lamella arrangement minimizes uneven wear. The width of the shoulder area has been increased to increase its rigidity.

The width of the shoulder area has been increased to increase its rigidity. The improved bead provides a balanced tire and increased rib stiffness in the shoulder area.
Today Smart Work AM15 tires are available in two sizes - 385 / 65R22.5 and 425 / 65R22.5.
Smart Work AM15 tires have been engineered to provide strength, reliable grip, and long life, the company says; Smart Work AM15 tread pattern provides improved traction and fuel efficiency. The optimized body structure of the tire improves ride and handling, while the improved bead profile improves retreading and a smoother contact patch, which reduces uneven wear.
“In today's economic climate, Smart Work AM15 is an excellent solution for fleets,” said Brian Sheehey, Director of Commercial Tire Sales for Hankook Tire America Corp. - Activity in the construction industry continues to increase, which leads to an increase in demand for wide tires, including off-road tires. Hankook is committed to providing exactly the product you can rely on. ”
Summer truck tire Hankook AM15 (Korea) is designed for various tractors and trailers, especially for driving on medium-haul routes. The products of this manufacturer have long been very popular with consumers. Since they have excellent quality. This model is an excellent example of high quality and affordable cost. In the production of tires, the latest advanced technologies and solutions are used for which this manufacturer is famous. As a result, the tire has received excellent performance characteristics. Great attention was paid to the development of the tread pattern. For this, the method of computer simulation was used. This helped to optimally position the blocks on the tire surface.
Two rows of massive central blocks provide excellent directional stability and excellent feedback. Rubber bridges between shoulder blocks reinforce them for even wear and reduce rolling resistance for longer tire life.
Wide and deep grooves in the tread pattern increase self-cleaning performance by removing water from the contact area as quickly as possible. The reinforced shoulder area provides additional protection against side damage and cuts, minimizing the possibility of tire damage due to impacts. An optimized tread body structure improves handling and an improved bead profile improves retreading.
A large number of sipes provide increased traction and reduce noise while driving, making the ride more comfortable. New components in the rubber compound have significantly improved the tire's performance. Due to their use, it was possible to reduce the wear of the tread, which increased the service life. Also, due to the increased elasticity, the Hankook AM15 tire has increased grip on wet road surfaces.
The combination of a new rubber compound and optimally positioned blocks allows for a minimum rolling coefficient, which reduces fuel consumption while driving. Any truck tire is constantly subjected to increased loads, especially when driving on poor-quality road surfaces. To prevent possible tears and damage in this model, the frame is specially reinforced. It is made of high-strength cords and contains a special steel ring that prevents the carcass from breaking under increased loads.
This tire is perfect for all trucks, as it has proven itself in the most difficult conditions. The quality of the tire is confirmed by various international standards.
