LOS ANGELES — Prinx Chengshan Tire North America Inc. has released the Prinx Hifleet HL1, a new all-weather light truck tire designed for commercial vans in the last mile delivery segment.
The Prinx Hifleet HL1 has the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMS) designation, delivering a smooth ride, superior handling and year-round traction on dry and wet roads in all weather conditions, according to Prinx North America.
This tire features a specialized tread compound that Prinx said was built to minimize curb damage and provide better durability, with a heavy load capacity.
The tire has four central wide grooves that evacuate water, while its high depth sipes with multiple biting edges increase safety in various road conditions, the company said.
The Prinx Hifleet HL11 comes in seven sizes, fitting tires with 15- to 18-inch rim diameters. It is available in both the U.S. and Canada.
Ken Coltrane, vice president of marketing and product development for Prinx Tire, said the company is excited to bring the tire to "this fast-growing segment and the expansion of our program offering for those who specialize in servicing package delivery or contractor fleets."
Prinx Tire North America is a subsidiary of Prinx Chengshan Tire Co. Ltd.
