Features and Benefits

Commercial tires are intended to handle the heavyweights and long distances that commercial vehicles must travel. The Prinx DH-131 is a commercial tire designed primarily to fulfill the needs of semi-trucks in regional or line haul highway service. Let’s check out its features and benefits.

• Enhanced traction: Pattern block shape and surface area are specially designed to improve tire grip and traction while DH131’s unique siping promotes traction.
• Better heat dispersion: Its unique siping lowers friction heat, and it impacts your tire by allowing it to cool. The sipes work by separating heat and allowing air to circulate,spreading the heat and naturally cooling the tire.
• High-speed performance: Closed shoulder design offers high-speed performance.
• Improved longevity: While the deep tread depth ensures continuous performance even as the tire degrades, the closed shoulder design provides longer mileage and reduces shoulder wear. In addition, the Prinx DH131 is retreadable for a longer service life.
