P&D, trailer tires Hankook's DH07 drive pickup-and-delivery tire is suited for medium and long-haul service and incorporates a wider three-channel zigzag groove tread pattern designed to prevent stone drilling and facilitate self-cleaning. The DH07's belt structure has been engineered for reduced heat generation, while its structure has been optimized for improved ride and handling and its bead design profile helps facilitate retreadability. The DH07 is available in three 19½-inch sizes: 225/70R19.5, 245/70R19.5 and 265/70R19.5. The TH22 low-platform trailer tire features a chip and cut compound built for added durability, while its belt structure is engineeered to help minimize deformation for lower rolling resistance. An enlarged carcass profile with a reinforced belt cord also addresses durability, and a reinforced bead structure is designed to enhance load performance.
