Pirelli Adds Low Profile FH85 Amaranto Sizes

Pirelli has expanded its range of sizes available on the FH85 Amaranto premium truck tyre range. The tyre is now available in 385/55R22.5 for trucks used on long distances with heavy loads on low severity roads. The new ultra-low profile tyre is designed for the steering axles and the company is confident that it makes for an increased load capacity and volume.

The 385/55 R 22.5 FH85 Amaranto meets the needs of the truck tyre market for ON applications, where the demand for this type of product is growing rapidly and shows great potential to continue to do so. This size has a higher load capacity than other products with a similar diameter – such as 315/70 and 315/60 R22.5 – thanks to the larger volume of air it contains.

Also, by lowering the loading floor, the 385/55 R22.5 allows for an increase in the volume available for haulage compared to other tyres with the same load index (385/65 R22.5).

The Milanese company states that some of the major European road hauliers have tested the new sizes and provided positive feedback, especially regarding the safety and comfort parameters, as well as the improved mileage ensured (an average of 40% more useable tread compound compared with 315/60 R 22.5 FH55).

The tyre, available now, allows for an increased load capacity up of to 1.4 tons per axle when compared with other tyres possessing a similar diameter.
The new FH85 Amaranto 385/55 has been designed with a patented structure (All Steel Zero) aimed at achieving structural integrity and a high load capacity thanks to its reinforced bead.
