What HK887 Gives the Operator

Tread design maintains grip under torque while reducing noise on smooth highways

Even wear across the tread face extends casing life and supports retreading

Optimised block geometry resists irregular wear from uneven loading or alignment

Deep grooves help evacuate water on wet surfaces without compromising stability

Radial casing construction supports higher speeds and better fuel efficiency

Application Scenarios

• Long-haul freight transport on paved highways with regular loading and unloading
• Regional distribution with daily runs on tarmac and occasional access to rough yard surfaces
• Fleet operations where casing life and retreadability are key cost factors

Who It Is For

• Importers sourcing a drive axle tyre for European and African markets
• Distributors needing a mid-tier drive pattern to complement premium brands
• Fleet operators replacing drive tyres across mixed-brand trucks with consistent performance

What It Is Meant To Fix

Drive tyres that develop uneven wear patterns due to poor block design or pressure imbalance

Excessive rolling noise from drive tyres that affects driver comfort and compliance

Short casing life due to weak construction or lack of retread support

Inconsistent performance across different road surfaces and load levels

Technical Features

• Radial casing construction for durability and heat dissipation
• Tread pattern engineered for balanced traction and noise reduction on paved roads
• Block geometry designed to resist irregular and eccentric wear
• Deep circumferential grooves for water evacuation under load
• Casing built to support retreading after extended use
• Container loading planned across sizes and patterns in one shipment
• Sidewall marking and labelling to suit the destination market on request

Quality Control

• X-ray inspection of the finished casing before packing
• Dynamic balance check on the production line
• Manufactured under ISO9001 and ISO/TS16949 quality systems

How It Compares

• Compared with A premium European drive tyre Lower purchase price per casing, with a shorter proven mileage record in independent fleet testing

Getting the Most Out Of It

• Fit to the drive axle only and keep steer and trailer positions on their own patterns
• Set cold pressure to the load actually carried on the axle, not to the maximum on the sidewall
• Check pressures weekly - under inflation is the most common cause of shoulder wear on drive tyres
• Rotate paired duals when tread depth between the two differs to keep the axle loading even

HK887 Questions

Load capacity varies by size and ply rating. Confirm with the specific size and load index required

It is a drive axle pattern. For the steer position, consult other Transmate patterns in the same size

The casing is built for retreading, though acceptance depends on the retreader and on how the tyre was operated. Confirm with your retreader before committing volume

Transmate products carry ISO9001, ISO/TS16949, CCC, E-mark, DOT, GSO/GCC, SONCAP, INMETRO and NOM approvals. Let us know your destination market and we will confirm the applicable markings

Yes. Truck tyres, car tyres, off the road tyres and wheels are routinely loaded into the same container. Send the sizes and quantities per size and we will plan the load.
