Marathon LHT + ideal for large trailers with a fifth wheel height of less than 1 meter, thus allowing the combined maximum cargo volume with 22,5 inch brakes. Marathon LHT + is a new and improved design of the hull of the tread. A tyre is reinforced carbon fiber with a high content siliki and resistant to tears elastomer. Marathon LHT + provides a more even distribution of pressure in contact with the road surface, reducing friction and wear shoulders. This tyre size is suitable for trailers and fifth wheel height of 1030 mm. Compared with the standard tires 385/55R22.5, the new version has a better fuel consumption, thanks to lower rolling resistance and longer service life. Moreover the cost of maintenance for trailers with 22.5-inch disc brakes and more significantly lower than for trailers with 19.5-inch disc brakes and more.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
