A number of manufacturers released a range of summer tire specifically for SUVs, Goodyear - special city ??bus, and Nokian, traditionally regarded as the producer of winter tires, has launched its summer brand that produces two summer tires with different speed characteristics. However, the start stoits premieres world's largest manufacturer of tires - the company Michelin. Francais summer tires this season, paid particular attention to gaining popularity Class SUV, releasing just two new items for fast and powerful SUVs. The first of them - Latitude Tour HP. summer tire available in 26 sizes from 15 to 19 different diameters and improved acoustic and vibration comfort compared to its predecessor MXV4. Special structure of the rubber mixture Terrain-proof compound provides greater resistance to abrasion due to the impact of stones and gravel, both under normal operating conditions, and at high loads during sharp acceleration and braking, cornering. New technology lamelizatsii StabiliGrip increases the stiffness of the tread in the contact patch, providing high accuracy in the management while maintaining a high level of comfort.
The second novelty of Michelin, co-developed with Porsche, Latitude Sport, as the name implies, came from the world of sports. tread pattern and rubber compound is borrowed from the popular summer sport tires Pilot Sport 2.'s unique structure, located in a variable step and extended in the shoulder area a "zero" layer belt, greatly reduces the strain arising under the influence of centrifugal force. Summer Bus Latitude Sport is available in thirteen sizes from 18 to 23 diameter and is designed for luxury SUVs .
More known as a manufacturer of winter tires, Nokian Tyres company not just to prepare for this summer season, new summer tires, and has launched a new brand of old Hakka.
New summer tires Nokian Hakka H and Nokian Hakka V have identical to the subtleties sharp, tread. The difference between the tires is to use a different rubber compounds and the structure of the bus. Both tires are optimized to work best is in its index rate. The design of faster Nokian Hakka V stiffer, which makes the tire more sports. New findings and technical solutions used in both summer tires, and improve the safety of their movement and durability. Nonsymmetrical inside and outside tread (inside - outside) effectively protects against hydroplaning and improves manageability. In the tread rubber compound used with a high content of silica, which is achieved through as excellent wet traction and low rolling resistance.
Recent technological development effectively prevent aquaplaning. Activities of rain water in the inner part of the shoulder is based on the principle of "stream-river." Narrow directed grooves and special drainage guides efficiently remove water from the tire contact patch with the road. summer tire Nokian Hakka (205/55 R 16) allocates 43 liters of water per second at speeds of 75 kilometers per hour and the water cushion of 10 millimeters. Transverse grooves in the outer part of the shoulder ends bucket with a cup. Such a guide for water drainage improves safety and reduces splashing water on the windshield of the car and the sidewall.
Drivers are entitled to expect that the summer tire speed ratings of H and V acoustically comfortable. In updates Hakka developers have made several low noise means. Single outer shoulder area reduces noise, as pieces of the tread remains stable in different situations on the road. The hills and cavities in the longitudinal grooves affect the air flow and prevent the establishment of an unpleasant howling sound. In designing the structure of the frame and the choice of materials is taken into account the need to mitigate the shock and sound coming from contact with the road wheels.
German concern Continental AG will please fans of the summer driving fast its new summer bus ContiSportContact 3. shorter braking distances, excellent adhesion to the good governance plus an asymmetric tread pattern, designed to improve the driving characteristics of sports cars - are the main advantages of the new ContiSportContact 3. Asymmetric tread tires allowed developers to achieve improved adhesion while driving. cornering the outside tires most exposed to the forces, so-ribbed tread pattern is designed so that the contact patch was as widely as possible. Increases safety during sudden movements, grip on the fast corners and additional stability at high speeds. rib made so that the deformation is negligible, so that the contact patch remains constant, even when cornering at high speed.
GoodYear represents a new model of summer tires Eagle F1 Asymmetric technology "Active cornering grip - super-fast tire for luxury cars and sports cars. According to the company GoodYear-year-old bus combines the best speed performance, superior safety performance, handling and comfort on the road. The most important thing that the debut of new items in the Ukraine came just at the height of the season switch to summer tires.
from its predecessor, Eagle F1 Asymmetric is not only an asymmetric tread profile, but also asymmetrical design the tire. This technology can significantly improve grip when cornering and reduce friction, which increases mileage tires and allows the passage of the turns with more speed. Structural features are supported with a special compound rubber tread compound that improves handling on wet surfaces. As a result of internal testing, the braking on wet road-rail Eagle F1 Asymmetric has an inhibitory way to almost 4 feet shorter than the initial speed of 80 km / h. The rate of noise level reduced to 70.2 dB at 80 km / h.
itself, summer tires with asymmetric tread profile is nothing new, "says Michel, adding: "but we can talk about the launch of a world premiere, as Eagle F1 Asymmetric also features an asymmetrical design - aramid insert inside sidewall, which optimizes the characteristics of motion in the rotation." This new patented technology called the Goodyear "Technology Active Turn» (Active Cornergrip Technology).
Another advantage of the tires Eagle F1 Asymmetric - its universality. It is ideal for most types of cars. "It is very flexible in the application that facilitates entry into the business of supply of components is important for tire manufacturers," says Michelle. "We succeeded in the development of tires with the best characteristics, which, in addition to everything looks great. The appearance of the tire is always important - especially in the segments of the market" premium "and" deluxe "attractive design is absolutely essential.
At the beginning of the year manufacture of new tires Eagle F1 Asymmetric is running on Goodyear plants in Germany, in the cities of Fulda, Hanau and Philippsburg.
Sales of new models in Ukraine has already started importing GoodYear by importing the first dimension of this tire. Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric is available in 24 sizes from 17 to 20 inches with a height profile from 50 to 25.
In addition, Goodyear has decided to pay attention to car owners of small and middle-class and presented its latest DuraGrip: summer tire designed specifically to assist and car and tires to withstand constant braking and acceleration in city traffic.
Features of summer tires DuraGrip - this is a new compound with silica in the tread, which can increase mileage, improve handling characteristics on wet roads and to ensure a shorter stopping distance .
Also, the tire is different asymmetric tread pattern. Closed type outside of the tread and two solid outer edges help to improve handling on dry roads thanks to the highest possible level of adhesion to the dry surface. Open type inside of the tread and the peripheral groove, diverting more water with the road surface, provide better performance on wet roads and high aquaplaning resistance. Stiff shoulder area also provides lateral stability during high-speed maneuvers, and hemispherical lamellae 3D-BIS guarantees excellent handling by providing the necessary rigidity of blocks, and the maximum braking performance.
Very popular Japanese manufacturer Yokohama Tire Company offers owners of SUVs just two new items: summer tires Geolandar A / TS (G012) and Parada Spec-X.
Tire Geolandar A / TS is specifically designed for active recreation. Passing from the comfort of not a dozen miles down the highway, these tires can safely pull over virtually any terrain. One of the key factors in all terrain tires A / TS - a unique stepped block pattern. Hardness blocks provide improved maneuverability on the highway and self-cleaning units for off-road. The rounded shape edge of the unit reduces unwanted noise and minimizes uneven tread wear.
The second novelty of Yokohama Parada Spec-X is intended primarily for SUVs and luxury and is produced in large diameters of 20 to 24 inches. Protector has a solid edge on the meandering center, providing a tight contact patch with the road, and confident behavior on the water. tire features low noise level due to noncyclic location of the tread blocks. The shoulder blocks have increased, which gives the stability of heavy vehicles in the rotation, and even tire wear higher dimensions . The central groove efficiently drains water, a point on the tread are used for temperature compensation. on the tire sidewall close to the boarding board are protective collars.
selection of summer tires, the proposed bus-world giants, is huge. presented in the review tires - it is actually only a small part of what is available today. And when choosing tires is not necessary to use the advice of friends Uncle Vasya and consult a specialist as well as a properly fitted tires - is the key to safety on the road.
