TP Commercial Solutions’ all-position tire

May 10, 2017

TP Commercial Solutions’ Formula Driver II tire is suited for long-haul and regional all-position applications as part of Pirelli’s Tier II Formula Brand. The company’s proprietary Spiral Advanced Technology for Truck engineering for the tire’s structure is designed to enhance uniform wear, tire life, handling and retreadability. An optimized tread pattern featuring siping at the groove edges helps resist irregular wear for added mileage, while large circumferential grooves combined with the optimized structure facilitates added stability and handling on dry and wet conditions to enhance safety. Stone ejector elements at the bottom of the grooves help prevent stones from getting trapped, improving retreadability and durability.
