Seeking greater efficiency and profitability in the mixed segment operations, the VM540, Vipal
Rubber's exclusive design was developed to obtain good adhesion in different flooring types,
in paved and unpaved roads, in tire retreading for trailer and drive axles, being also optional
for off-road and regional application. The design concept aimed to ensure moderate drive, high
performance under heavy load conditions and resistance to sidewall and central aggressions and
casing durability. It also has a compound with excellent abrasion wear resistance.

Robust Shoulders: Offer superior performance under heavy load conditions and resistance to work in stop and go operations. They also help resist damage caused by torsion and turning.
Groove Protective Flaps: Design in the groove bottom that provides greater resistance to aggressions and less rocks embedded in the tread, increasing the casing durability and service life.
Ribbed Sides: Offer resistance/protection against side and abrasive impacts, and provide good adhesion in different situations. They aid in shoulder flexibility and heat dissipation.
Groove Structure: Designed to offer moderate drive, contributing to regular wear during all tread lifecycle.
Eye Control: Suggestive wear indicator.

This indicator makes it possible to identify anomalies in alignment, balancing and geometry.
This indicator suggests tire rotation, looking for the wear adjustment.
At this point, the recommendation is to change the tires, aiming the casing preservation.
Eye Control TechnologyThe new Vipal technology, named Eye Control, will act as a helper to the end user, fulfilling the
purpose of being a suggestive tread wear indicator.
Through Eye Control, the user will be able to identify tire anomalies, the suggested time for
rotation, as well as the moment to remove the tire for a new retread.
See below the details and operation of Eye Control:
