ʻO Goodyear Wrangler 2019: AT SilentTrac

Ke hele nei nā kaʻa All-Terraire i kahi manawa paʻakikī - manaʻo ʻia ʻo ia nā mea āpau i nā mea āpau. Manaʻo ʻia lākou e noho mālie, ʻoluʻolu a palekana hoʻi ma ke alanui, akā hiki nō hoʻi ke hāʻawi i ka traction ma waho o ke alanui. ʻO ka hoʻāʻo pinepine ʻana i kēia hui ʻana o nā hiʻohiʻona e hopena i ka nui o ke kuʻekuʻe ʻana o ka huila i hiki ke hana pono i kekahi mea.

Akā, e like me kekahi ʻoihana, ke holomua wikiwiki nei ka ʻenehana, e like me ka hiki i nā mea hana kaʻa kaʻa e pane wikiwiki a ākea i nā pono a me nā makemake o kā lākou mea kūʻai aku, e kū nei a hiki.

No laila, ua komo ka huila ʻāina āpau hou o Goodyear, ʻo Wrangler AT SilentTrac, i ka laina o ka hui e pani i ka hiʻohiʻona AT/SA (Silent Armor) i waho a ua kuhikuhi ʻia i ka booming SUV a me ka mākeke kaʻa kaʻa.

E nānā kākou, he kūʻai wikiwiki nā kaʻa kaʻa no nā mea he nui, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻaʻole makemake ka poʻe e hoʻokaʻawale i ke kālā no lākou, ʻoiai ʻo ke kūʻai ʻana i nā kaʻa kekahi o nā mea waiwai nui a kēlā me kēia kanaka e hana ai no ko lākou palekana a me ka palekana o kā lākou. ohana. A ʻaʻole pono e lilo ka huila i mea kuʻikahi.

Ua kono ʻo Goodyear iā CarsGuide i kahi hoʻolaha huahana ma Norwell Motorplex, kokoke i ke Gold Coast, e hōʻike i nā mea hoʻolaha a me nā mea kūʻai kaʻa kaʻa i ke ʻano o ka hana ʻana o nā kaila hou ma ke alanui.

TIRE

Loaʻa ka Goodyear Wrangler AT SilentTrac i nā anawaena rim mai 15 a 18 i 23 nui, me 14 no nā kaʻa kaʻa 4X4 a ʻeiwa no nā kaʻa māmā 4X4.

Hoʻomākaukau ka loea ʻo Goodyear i nā panaka SilentTrac no ke kaʻa. (Kiʻi kiʻi: Markus Kraft)

"ʻO kā mākou mau makahiki he nui o ka ʻike ma ka māhele 4x4 a me ka moʻolelo i hōʻoia ʻia i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i ka 4x4 lanakila a me nā kaila ma waho o ke alanui ua alakaʻi iā mākou e hana i ka huila Wrangler AT SilentTrac hou loa e hiki ai i nā mea kūʻai waena ke hoʻokele wiwo ʻole me ka hoʻonui traction. a me ka lōʻihi no kahi ʻike hoʻokele ʻoluʻolu a mālie,” wahi a ka Pelekikena Pelekikena ʻo Goodyear Asia Pacific Ryan Patterson.

Ma waena o ka nui exaggerations i ka manawa o ka hoʻomaka 'ana, Goodyear luna i ike i ka SilentTrac Durawall (kāpaʻa mānoanoa) 'enehana "hāʻawi i ka durability no ka wiwo 'ole-ala kaʻa kaʻa"; ʻO kona mau puʻupuʻu traction a me nā poloka poʻohiwi huinahā "kōkua i ka ʻala a me ka hau no ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i waho o ke alanui" a hoʻihoʻi hou i ka ea e hōʻemi i ka walaʻau alanui; a ʻo ka ʻāpana pulupulu mānoanoa ma lalo o ka hehi e kōkua i ka hoʻopale ʻana i ka leo o ke alanui ma mua o kā lākou ATs mua a pēlā e hōʻoia ai i kahi holo mālie a ʻoluʻolu.

ʻAʻole ia he ʻano koʻikoʻi - a ʻaʻole pono ke kaʻa kaʻa āpau, no ka mea, ʻo kona nānā ʻana i ke kūlanakauhale he ʻāpana nui o kāna hoʻopiʻi - akā pehea ke ʻano o ka SilentTrac i ke kalaiwa?

MA KE ALANUI

ʻAʻole hiki ke kiʻi i ke kiʻi hope loa o kekahi huahana, waiho wale i kahi mea paʻakikī e like me ke kaʻa, i loko o 30 mau minuke o ka launa pū ʻana o ka mea hoʻohana. Akā, pōʻino, ua loaʻa iā mākou kahi māwae.

ʻO Prados, kekahi me SilentTrac, kekahi me Bridgestone Duelers, ma waena o nā kaʻa no ka hoʻohālikelike. (Kiʻi kiʻi: Markus Kraft)

ʻOliʻoli loa nā luna o Goodyear i kā lākou huila SilentTrac e ʻōlelo liʻiliʻi loa, no laila i ka hoʻāʻo e hōʻike i ka hana maikaʻi o kā lākou huila hou, ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka hoʻokūkū hoʻokūkū i nā hoʻohālikelike ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao i ka Prado, a me kahi kaʻa pōkole pōkole i hoʻohui ʻia i ka manawa ma ke kaʻa ma ke kua HiLux lua kaʻa hope. He 265/65R17 nā huila SilentTrac a pau.

ʻO kā mākou hana mua, ʻo ia ka hoʻokele ʻana i ka Prado me nā pilahi Bridgestone Duelers no kahi mau haneli mau mika o ke ala heihei a laila hoʻokele i nā pā Prado me SilentTrac ma ke ala like e hōʻike ai i ka maikaʻi o nā kaila Goodyear. Ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia nā huila ʻelua i 32 psi (psi). ʻO ka hoʻokele koʻikoʻi a me ka braking kekahi ʻāpana o ka hui.

ʻO ka ʻokoʻa o ka hana ma waena o nā hōʻailona ʻelua he paʻakikī ke ʻike ʻia ma kahi ala pōkole i ka manawa pōkole, akā inā he mea, ua hōʻike nā kaila Goodyear i nā pōmaikaʻi marginal ma mua o ka hoʻokūkū ma ke ʻano o ka traction a me ka mana kihi. Me he mea lā ua mālie.

A laila, holo mākou i kahi HiLux i hoʻokuʻu ʻole ʻia ma SilentTracs ma kahi puka pōkole a maʻalahi i ka pulu.

Eia hou, paʻakikī ke haʻi me ka manawa liʻiliʻi a ʻaʻohe mea e hoʻohālikelike ʻia, akā aia nō kahi nui o ka hoʻomalu ʻana i ka lāʻau ma nā kihi paʻa i ka pulu a me ka paʻakikī paʻa.

ALANUI

Ua mākaukau nā kāmaʻa bushing SilentTracs 15" e hele. (Kiʻi kiʻi: Markus Kraft)

Ua māhele ʻia nā ʻāpana o ke alanui o ko mākou lā kaʻa i ke ala "ʻoluʻolu" a me ke ala "extreme", a hāʻawi i ka ʻike hou aʻe e pili ana i nā ʻano maikaʻi o nā kaʻa i ka wā e holo ai ma ka ʻāina ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku ka ʻoi aku o ka bitumen.

Ua hoʻopau mākou i nā ala ʻelua i loko o kahi Jeep Wrangler me nā pīni SilentTrac 31X10.50R15 LT (Light Truck Construction) ma 24 psi.

ʻO ke ala mua e pili ana i ka holo pōkole 4WD ma luna o nā ʻano ʻāina like ʻole, me kahi pōkole pōkole o ka pōhaku, kekahi mau piʻi maʻalahi a me ka iho ʻana, nā ala wai pāpaʻu, a me nā ala liʻiliʻi a me nā puʻu. Aia nā kaʻa Wrangler ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka hiki, a ʻo nā kaʻa Wranglers me he mea lā e hoʻokō pono i kēlā pae akamai.

Ke kalaiwa ʻana i kekahi o nā pōʻai hoʻāʻo 4WD. (Kiʻi kiʻi: Markus Kraft)

ʻOi aku ka paʻakikī o ka lua ma waho o ke alanui no nā mea hoʻokele a me nā kaʻa me nā koho keakea koʻikoʻi a mākou i holo ai ma mua o ka lā, a eia hou, ua ʻike maikaʻi ka lāʻau lapaʻau i ke kōkua ʻana i ka mālama ʻana i ka traction i ka manawa kūpono.

Manaʻo nā luna o Goodyear ua hiki i ka SilentTrac ke pale aku i ka "hoʻohana ma waho o ke alanui, ʻoki a ʻokiʻoki i nā waimaka", akā ʻaʻole hiki iaʻu ke ʻōlelo mana i kēlā mau koi no ka mea pōkole kā mākou holo. 

ʻO ka piʻi ʻana i ka puʻu i ka wā hoʻokahi o ka hoʻāʻo 4WD. (Kiʻi kiʻi: Markus Kraft)

E like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i kahi ʻike koʻikoʻi i loko o kahi kaila ma hope o ka ʻike pōkole ʻana iā ia, a makemake wau e hoʻolōʻihi i ka manawa e hoʻokele i ka AT SilentTrac ma mua o ka hoʻoholo ʻana iā lākou, akā pono ʻoe. hāʻawi i ka mahalo i ka Goodyear mafia: hauʻoli lākou i kā lākou huila hou a ʻaʻole makaʻu e hōʻike.
