        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Higher road temperatures during the dry season can\naccelerate tire wear and cause cracks, necessitating drivers to monitor\ntire pressure and tread condition to ensure safe driving.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d increased temperatures in tires while driving, especially during\nthe dry season, are normal,\u201d stated Apriyanto Yuwono, National Sales\nManager Passenger Car Radial at PT Hankook Tire Sales Indonesia (HTSI),\nin a written statement on Tuesday. \u201cHowever, excessive temperature and\ntire pressure can reduce grip and increase the risk of blowouts. SUV\nusers should regularly check tire pressure, particularly when tires are\ncold, to avoid overinflation,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Maintaining optimal tire performance is crucial, especially when\ndriving on damaged surfaces. The National Transportation Safety\nCommittee (KNKT) has highlighted that internal tire factors, such as\nsuboptimal air pressure, often contribute to highway incidents.<\/p>\n<p>Apriyanto outlined several considerations for SUV users to minimise\nwear and cracking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><p>tread design: square-profiled treads distribute vehicle weight\nevenly across the tire surface, ensuring stability and preventing uneven\nwear from excessive pressure on specific points.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>tread structural strength: rigid tread patterns maintain tire\nshape and stability at high temperatures, particularly when driving at\nhigh speeds or carrying heavy loads.<\/p><\/li>\n<li><p>user characteristics: for daily use on asphalt roads, tires\nprioritising comfort, stability, and low noise are optimal. For heavy\nloads or challenging terrain, tires with robust structure, strong tread,\nand higher traction are necessary.<\/p><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cSUV users must understand that tires are not merely accessories but\na critical safety component. pressure distribution technology and robust\ntread structure help reduce blowout risks while enhancing long-term\nefficiency,\u201d Apriyanto added.<\/p>\n<p>Hankook\u2019s Dynapro series offers solutions for SUV needs, designed for\npremium comfort, low noise, smooth handling, and high stability on\nroads. The Dynapro HT focuses on maximum durability with a stronger\nstructure and higher wear resistance, suitable for high-intensity or\nlong-distance travel. Both products embody \u201ceconomy of durability\u201d\nthrough extended lifespan and consistent performance.<\/p>",
