This year, companies that are engaged in the production of tires, as always offer their customers various tire options for passenger cars and SUVs. Below here, consider what models to pay your attention to, as well as recall the tires that enjoyed success last year and give some recommendations on the selection of tires.
Decent tires are created every season. We will tell about the best of them today. Photo: Revistadelmotor.es.
The most popular tires of this summer
Hankook Ventus V12.
It is one of the best-selling tires of the summer of 2017. The number of sizes that can be purchased, reaches eighty five pieces. Tire diameter - from fifteen to twenty one inch.
The tires of this production have excellent coupling characteristics on a slippery coating, and good resistance is created due to the tread pattern with 3-ducts located along. In addition, they are resistant during a wet surface, and the cord from steel increases their wear resistance and extends the service life.
Among the main advantages of Ventus V12, the strength, excellent clutch, comfort, an acceptable cost, which is combined with high quality.
In the manufacture of tires, developers use rubber mixtures last generationThey increase resistance to wear, as well as improve resistance to thermal aging.
Continental PREMIUM CONTACT 6
These tires are characterized primarily, comfort, handling, economy and security. They are durable in operation and reduce fuel consumption.
The model by production from Germany has a diameter from seventeen to twenty-one centimeters, so suitable for both ordinary "cars" and for sports cars and crossovers. Photo: Avtovesti.com.
To achieve such characteristics manufacturers created a newest rubber mixture and invented an innovative design for the tires.
Thanks to this, the Sontact 6 won on several tests, he also distinguished itself with its coupling and braking properties and a low rolling resistance coefficient.
Of the disadvantages it is worth highlighting rapid erasing, since the tires are rather soft.
Michelin Agilis.
Michelin has released a new series of Agilis tires, which is quite tough compared to its predecessors, which is a plus for domestic roads. Photo: img.avito.st.
Tires have a 2nd cord weaving, and in their sidewalls there are inserts that saves tires from the breakage when driving around the uneven surface.
In addition, Agilis is distinguished by high resistance to rapid wear, a large protector, durability and ability to overcome distances on country area. Diameter is suitable exclusively for passenger cars.
Of the minuses - the rubber is rather heavy, because of this, the consumption of fuel increases and the effectiveness of the pendant functioning during quick ride on the uneven road is increased.
Nokian Hakka Green 2
It is impossible to bypass the Green 2 series from Nokian Hakka. These tires are designed for operation in complex climatic conditions, where the temperature in the summer does not exceed twenty degrees.
Engineers created such a rubber mixture that allows the tires to be comfortably transferred to a sharp change of temperature. In addition, it provides excellent wet and dry surface control.
- Noise and hum are decreasing due to the availability of special grooves.
- But it is worth considering that such rubber quickly comes into disrepair.
- The size of Green 2 varies from fifteen to seventeen inch.
Toyo Proxes T1-R
T1-R is a new flagship Toyo proxes. . T1 R tires are perfect for lovers. quick driving, they have excellent handling at high speed and clutch on wet asphalt.
Creation of tires was carried out using computer modeling tools. Rubber successfully passed various tests and tests.
The diameter of the tire is from seventeen to twenty-inch.
Popular tires 2016
Now let's talk a little about tires, popular last year.
Nokian Hakka Green.
Finnish brand Nokian Hakka Green won great distribution last year. The developers managed to create a new rubber mixture, which consists of pine oil, silica and soot. This made it possible to increase the resistance to wear almost fifteen percent.
For the protectors used the twisted wire made of steel, which had a positive effect on tire strength. Photo: nokiantyres.az.
These tires are made specifically for cars Class C and B, they have a diameter of thirteen to sixteen inches.
According to buyers' reviewers, tires have good handling, soft move and carry out efficient braking in any weather. Of the minuses - many celebrate too high cost and not enough reliable handling on the wet surface.
Michelin Sross-Climate
A series of French brand Michelin called SroSS-Climate is primarily characterized by its durability. In addition, it is used not only in the summer, but also in the offseason.
The use of a special rubber mixture increased the course of tires and improved braking efficiency.
Protectors have a drawing with a considerable number of sectors, which are divided with grooves for water removal. Thanks to this drawing, the stability of the tires is improved when driving in how much road.
In our country, tires are available for purchase in thirty sizes, and their diameter varies from fourteen to eighteen inches.
Many owners like sacchability of tires, as well as their elasticity and a small braking path. The main disadvantage is the rapid erasure, especially with regular driving on poor-quality roads.
CORDIANT SPORT 3.
This model also enjoyed the success of the previous summer.This manufacturer series from Russia, which includes twelve sizes from sixteen to eighteen inches.
Options were added specifically for crossovers, as they are most quickly developed in the market. Photo: 24aul.ru.
Sport 3 tires are distinguished by a rapid sidewall. Also, the owners note a good water lead, strength, uniform wear of the tread and excellent coupling characteristics. Such tires are not suitable for driving on the ground, and problems may occur if the car is equipped with a rigid suspension.
BFGoodrich - Urban-Terrain
The novelty from the BFGoodrich - Urban-Terrain brand was also successfully sold last year. It was created specifically for small and medium-sized crossovers. Available to purchase eighteen sizes, fifteen to eighteen inch.
Tires are designed primarily for driving on asphalt. But they are also able to transfer ride on the soil. Urban-Terrain tire frame was specifically reinforced to add strength when driving off road. The drainage is carried out by the channel system on the tread pattern.
Buyers highlight the comfort of tires, acceptable rolling, silent and softness. Of the minuses - a little tough, until complete heating.
Eagle F1 ASYMMETRIC 3
Eagle F1 ASYMMETRIC 3 tires got distribution primarily due to high speed. For them, engineers added some technical innovations, such as a rubber mixture, consists of a rubber with an adhesive effect. In addition, 3-dimensional protector blocks were applied for tires, which had a positive effect on the braking path.
Tires are reliable and durable, the owners also write about comfort and low noise. But they are not good enough to ride on wet soil.
Buying recommendations summer tires For your car you will find in this video and in the text below:
- When buying, be sure to consider the type and size of the tires so that they come to your car. These parameters are specified in the instruction manual;
- High-quality tire must have economy, acceptable driving characteristics, durability and low noise;
- Many buy large tires, as they not only improve the adhesion with the road and improve traction properties, but also positively affect the guise of the car;
- With frequent ride on the soil, it is best to buy tires with a shallow pattern on the protective. It is also necessary that they are not very rigid;
- If you are important to fuel savings, pay attention to the energy-saving tires. True, not all of them have sufficient efficiency, so it is recommended to buy tires supplied for primary configuration;
- Buy tires can official dealerThey have original production, but their cost will be high. In specialized stores you will find a wider range and various prices from high to low. Last time, the online stores are popularly popular, the owners of non-standard sizes wheels are treated.
- Use recommendations that give car brand manufacturers. These tips are based on the dimensions of the model, its running properties, carrying capacity and other things.
Outcome
So, today a large variety of tires are represented on the market. different manufacturersthat somewhat makes it difficult. In order to relieve it, we marked the most popular models of the past and this summer, which should be paid attention to, and also led some tips on their acquisition.
Many car owners underestimate the importance of changing tires in accordance with the season. And if it is clear that in winter, in cold weather, an improved clutch on ice and snow roads is necessary, then the need to use special rubber in the summer is not understood.
However, there are reasons for changing the tires on the summer simply necessary:
- Too soft at high temperatures, which reduces controllability and increases the braking path;
- soft winter tires quickly wear on hot asphalt;
- using winter tires In summer, increases fuel consumption.
Thus, the main characteristics on which we choose the tires are the ability to remove heat and wear resistance. Also, the best summer tires for crossovers should be good to dirt and water for normal moving on off-road, have a good grip on the hot asphalt and during the rain.
For many indicators, the BFGoodrich G-Grip model can be boldly called the best tires for the summer in the category of crossover 2019. At the cost of modification with a diameter of 17 centimeters (235/45R1794Y) of about 5,700 rubles, this is the perfect option by value / quality ratio. The tire is characterized by a unique design and a thoughtful location of the blocks. Rubber perfectly proven itself on a wet / dry track. The famous American manufacturer has a lot of money invests in research, so all its products, including this model, is manufactured using modern computer technology. The tread pattern has a pronounced orientation, due to which the effect of aquaplaning is not manifested under any circumstances. It should also be noted the high quality of the tire blocks located in the shoulder zone, which guarantees a very high responsiveness of the wheels on manipulation with the steering wheel.
Bridgestone Potenza S001.
An excellent high-speed summer oriental tire, characterized by improved comfort characteristics and silent ride. The cost is not the smallest - model with parameters 215/40R17 / 87Y costs from 11,200 rubles. But these tires, to be honest, are worthwhile. The presence of sufficiently wide grooves contributes to a high-quality water removal. The edges of the blocks have an acute edge capable of literally dissecting waterflaws, reducing the risk to a minimum to fall into the aquaplaning. The rigidity of the side of the rubber provides excellent stability / controllability of the crossover regardless of the speed of movement. It is impossible not to mention the central rib of tires, which improves the stability of the machine when driving at very high speeds.
This model belongs to the category of medium price tires (modification 235/55 R17 99Y costs from 7200 rubles), but at the same time it has decent characteristics at a fairly high resource. The third place in the ranking of the best summer tires for crossovers 2019, the model received quite deservedly. Like other best class representatives, Toyo Proxes T1 Sport has a wide central edge and large-scale blocks. The resistance of the command on the track is complemented by the presence of an extensive drainage web, which is responsible for the rapid removal of water. Self-locking lamellas are another advantage of a tire having a high-speed index y that allows you to move at a speed of up to 300 kilometers / hour, withsting the load of about 780 kg. According to the reviews of domestic car owners, the tire does not like bad roads, which wears faster than the usual.
Michelin Latitude Cross
Considering the 2019 rating of the best summer rubber For crossovers, we cannot pass by the model, which at the cost occupies an intermediate position between premium and middle price segments. So, the cost of the tire with the index 225/75 R16 108H8500 starts from the mark of 7800 rubles. These tires cannot be called high-speed (the index H shows that they are calculated by a maximum of 210 km / h), but for the crossover of this more than enough. But the load index of these is 108 units, that is, they are able to withstand a load of 1 thousand kilograms. Rubber is characterized by stable behavior on the roads with any type of surface, regardless of weather conditions. The tread pattern is selected in such a way as to reduce wear as much as possible not to the detriment of the operational parameters. Users note the possibility of fuel economy and excellent tire control. What such a tire does not like - these are trips on the roads in need of the grader.
Dunlop SP Sport Maxx
This model also has also earned a high place in the top of summer tires for crossover 2019 due to excellent coursework, regardless of the state of the vehicles. At a cost of 6150 rubles Modification 215/55 R16 93Y is distinguished by the presence of very durable sidewalls With kevlar inserts, confident braking, work relatively quiet. High-speed (y index), demonstrate a great balance of coupling characteristics. Among the disadvantages it should be noted not better wear resistance. If you are a lover of a comfortable ride - do not count on such tires: they are quite rigid. But, repeat, for its segment it is one of the best products, both in terms of cost and by the main operational characteristics.
If you use your off-road crossover relatively rarely, this model of summer rubber can be for you the optimal choice. In the list of the best tires of 2019 for summer in the Hakka Black 2SUV crossover segment, in our version, occupies the sixth place. For 8900 rubles, you get a high-speed and comfortable rubber at dry concrete, which on a dry concrete keeps the road is not worse than the premium Continental ContiPremiUmcontact Tire 5. However, it will not be on the wet asphalt. Very good smoothness rate, at the level Michelin Latitude Sport, but at the same time very noisy, it is one of the main deficiencies of the model (like the entire "two-side" series). On off-road feel confident. What else can be said about this model? Wear resistance is not from the best - up to 30 thousand are still normal, and then problems are possible, but it's lucky. If you stop your summer rubber selection for the crossover on Hakka Black 2SUV, we advise you to buy only native (made in Finland) Tires - the quality of tires produced in other countries can really face you.
Continental ContipRemiumContact 5 SUV
For lovers of a comfortable ride, this summer tire, without exaggeration, will be an excellent choice. Moreover, along with the amazing softness of driving on dry / wet coating, the model is characterized by an excellent clutch coefficient with a roadpapers. It can be guaranteed that it will be one of the most quiet tiresthat you met in your life. However, as it always happens in life, every dignity turns into any disadvantage. IN this case You can unambiguously assume that the rubber is soft, then not too durable. The way it is: real resource - About 30 thousand kilometers. Well, and with durability, too, there are problems, so if you go to bad roads, why do you need soft, if you risk getting a "hernia" when you get into a serious pit?
Michelin Latitude Sport 3
Yes, you are not mistaken. These are summer tires, and they are intended for crossovers. And, despite the presence of the word "Sport", the speed index is not at all sports (V, up to 240 km / h). So in the ranking of summer tires for crossovers of dimension R18, these tires are present absolutely natural, being a direct competitor of the previous model from Continental. In other words, the characteristics of these tires are almost identical - this is the highest softness, striking silence, excellent grip with a coating of any type.
And, of course, the same disadvantages are a low resource and frankly weak strength parameters. The sidewalls are here, right for example, slips, so if you love to lean to borders, you will have to leave this habit in the past. But there is a good news? Unlike ContipRemiUmcontAct 5, this tire wear resistance is higher - it will have to change it on average every 40,000 kilometers.
Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV.
If you need a comfortable rubber, which has a sufficiently strong sidewall, and at the same time you are constrained in the means, your choice is the EfficientGrip SUV model. The softness of the move here is such that you will feel as if you drive in an expensive sedan, and the impressions will be the same in terms of noise. But the main thing is a hard sidewall that allows you to not think about security when driving in urban conditions. In short, it is a good middle journal, including in terms of cost (from 6500 rubles). There is a feature - too broad grooves, because of which pebbles drop directly on the wheeled arches. Buying a set of such rubber, take care of the purchase of the subsidence and make qualitative noise insulation Arch.
Japanese tires in the recommendations do not need, but the cost is impressive (almost 10 thousand rubles), the most expensive tires in our ranking of summer tires for crossovers. And for the money you buy far from the most ideal product. With a number of excellent characteristics (it is well holding a rut, any puddles overcome well, simply not noticing them, demonstrates rapid braking on a wet / dry asphalt or concrete, there is a solid sidewall, there are no problems with aquaplaning) is characterized by increased noise. In general, all the Japanese, if you compare them with similar European tires, more noisy. If noise and high cost for you do not matter - Well, it is very good tires in all other parameters.
Toyo Proxes CF2 SUV
Another good option at a sleeper value (7400 rubles). Users say good handover of tires, their ability to keep a rut even at very high speeds when entering enough turns. Comfortable, perfectly opposed aquaplaning. Unlike many "one-brings", characterized by a tread pattern, which is not stronger. Not bad and off-road "skills." But dramatically changes its properties, in cold weather. At temperatures below plus 5 degrees becomes noisy and rigid, that is, it is a tire for southern regions of the country. As for the sidewall, they are enhanced here. Summarizing the foregoing, it can be said that in the ranking of summer tires for crossovers of this model there is always a place.
Hankook Ventus S1 Evo2SUV K117A
At the cost of 6,200 rubles, it is a decent Korean analogue of classmates from Michelin. The road keeps on a wet and dry highway on solid "4". This is also a middle pepper. It is possible to single out that the softness of the stroke is especially rolling. Braking of special complaints does not cause. But a very significant disadvantage is a weak resource. Many noted that the limit for these tires is 15 thousand kilometers. It is not surprising that in the ranking of summer tires for the 2019 crossovers Ventus S1 R17 is by no means leading.
Kumho HP91
Available tires that are not distinguished by outstanding characteristics. Interesting can be called a solution to the problem of lateral cord - it is not hard here. And yet, the blows holds very confident. At a cost of 6300 rubles for a modification of 265/65 R17 112V, this is a completely acceptable option - tasty, but it is a standing mileage of about 40000-50000 kilometers. Yes, there are problems related to coupling properties, especially in rainy weather. The noise is also decent. Not the best choice if there are no problems with finance.
Cordiant Comfort 2SUV.
One of the most budget options (from 4900 rubles). You can call this rubber with a domestic analogue of Continental ContipRemiumContact 5SUV. It is as comfortable and mild, but much less wear-resistant. In addition, the road keeps not so good, it can break into the banks much earlier than analogues. Low noise, but is subject to mechanical effects. In short, Sameya available model by price.
A worthy competitor of the previous model in price, but not in quality. If the modification R16 costs from 5400 rubles, then R19 - 11000, but these are the best summer tires for crossovers in the lower price segment. Well manifest themselves with a calm ride, but do not like speed and wet road. Unlike the Black Series, it does not oppose aquaplaning, but has a stronger "shoulders". Demonstrates the magnificent smoothness of the course without prejudice to manageability. And again, acquire only "Finn", rubber produced in Russia may disappear for the second year of operation.

The overwhelming majority of car owners choose tires by ratings, which are compiled according to the results of tests conducted by various automotive publications.
However, it often happens that in tests of different editions, the same tire models occupy various places in the final rating. This creates the difficulties of choice for buyers.
From this article you will learn:
The editorial board "First on Tires" was the total ranking of Summer Tire R16 for 2017 on the basis of these tests of various publications, taking into account feedback to these tires on Yandex Market, and, most importantly, the cost of these tire models. On the first places in our ranking, covers that took nice results In tests and, at the same time, having the most attractive cost.
At the time of writing the material (02.2017), Russian automotive publications of summer tire tests R16 did not have a sufficient time. The most fresh tests at this point were test from the magazine "Over the Rule" from 2015 and test Magazine Autores, from 2014.
Therefore, when preparing the rating of summer tires R16 for 2017, according to the site "First on tires", the results of tests of Russian publications were used, as well as more than fresh material Autobild's authoritative German edition from 2016.
However, it is worth noting that tire tests conducted by foreign automotive publications often do not take into account the models sold in the Russian market. Therefore, with the advent of new tests of Summer tires R16 in Russian automotive publications, this rating will be adjusted. For timely receipt of updates, subscribe to our newsletter or our groups in social networks.

The cost of tires dimension 205/55R16 from the first top five leaders in all three tests (in February 2017):
In the picture, you can see that with the exception of the Pirelli Cinturato P7 Blue models (the model recently appeared), Hankook Ventus Prime3 (also appeared recently), Semperit Speed-Life 2 (model little-known in the Russian market) and Nokian Hakka Blue (has a rating below, than others), rating reviews for Yandex Market is about the same (numbers on a green background next to the model name).
At the same time, the cost of these tire models is noticeably different, and it affects the distribution of places in our ranking.
Ranking Best Summer Tire R16
First placeyou can with confidence to give the model Hankook Ventus Prime2.. The tire has the lowest cost good rating Reviews of Yandexmarket and occupied not the worst places in tests: 3rd place in the test "Autores" and 5th place in the test "behind the wheel".
Second place You can give several models at once:
Here you can attribute the model Goodyear EfficientGrip Performance.As the 3rd place in the dough "by the wheel", the 4th in the test "Autores" and the 5th in the AUTOBILD test, which has an average cost and average rating on reviews.
Also here can be the model Continental ContipremiUmcontAct 5.As having a relatively low cost, a good rating for reviews to Yandexmarket. But with the reservation, that the model has very different places in tests (1st place in the test "Autores", 6th place in the test "Over the wheel" and 9th place in the AUTOBILD test). Its characteristics are best studied separately.
Another model, with reservations suitable for second place - this Nokian.Hakka.BlueAs having a relatively low cost. But at the same time, not the best rating for reviews for Yandexmarket and a large scatter at busy places in tests (2nd place in the test "Over the wheel" and 6th place in the test "Autores", the autobild model did not test at all). The characteristics of the model is also better to explore separately.
Third place You can give the model Michelin.Primacy 3.As having a good rating for reviews to Yandexmarket, but more than those considered above the cost models. As for tests, the model showed the 4th place in the tests "behind the wheel" and "autores", but only 10th place in the AUTOBILD test.
The new tire has already enacted the primary set of sports cars, such as. The novelty is sold in 34 sizes with a planting diameter of 19 and 20 inches. In the future, the number of sizes will be increased.
Of all the technologies that are present in the design of the novelties, we note Bi-compound. It makes it possible to apply two of various composition The rubber mixture for the inner and outer part of the tread: the outer part includes a new elastomer for a reliable clutch on a dry coating, and so-called "functional elastomers" are added to the new composition of the rubber mixture of the inner side of the tread, which are responsible for the hook on the wet coating.
Continental
The novelty is designed for passenger cars and them, as well as for crossovers. She has a wide range of sizes - from 17 to 21 inches.
Many technical solutions applied in Sport Contact 6 sports covers for Sport Contact 6 are based on the tires, and the composition of the rubber mixture is modified very similarly. This made it possible to make a protector part more elastic and improved the level of comfort. As a result, the novelty exceeds both previous models for efficiency, durability and smoothness.
As it is clear from the name, the CrossContact ATR model is designed for crossovers and SUVs. Tires are represented in 21 sizes. The blocks of the central part of the tread combined into groups. This has improved the smoothness of the course and coursework on asphalt. Hard jumpers Between the tread blocks in the shoulder zones reduce the braking path when braking on a dirt road and, of course, improve the permeability in the mud or rut.
The main difference from the predecessor is the modified composition of the rubber mixture. The technology allows the compound to stick to the road, which provides good coursework stability and handling. Interestingly, the fact that several dimensions of this tire are designed for maximum speed 360 km / h. So that the tire can withstand such loads, changed the bracket design. With its manufacture, the ARALON 350 material is used. These are two cords from aramid fibers, intertwined with nylon cord. Such a very strong connection helps the tire not to change its form under the influence of centrifugal forces when driving at high speed.
Nokian Tyres.
The tire is thoroughly updated compound. The pine oil appeared in its composition made it possible to reduce the heating of the tire when driving, which, in turn, reduced the rolling resistance. The result is a tire now wears less.
Another solution that increased the tire resource is reinforced. Like the last model, it is made of Steel Cord, but now there is a steel tape High Tensile Steel. It is less weighted, much stronger and resistant to deformations.
In the drawing of the tread there are many separate blocks. Each of them has a rather complicated form with numerous corners and faces. Based on each of the blocks there are special protrusions to help save the vertical position of the blocks when contacting an uneven stony coating. The form of blocks and their location in the tread pattern allows you to increase the tire contact spot with a stony surface, as well as optimally distribute the pressure in the spack of the contact. This improves the grip and reduces the risk of damage to the tire when hitting the stones. The dimensional range includes 8 sizes with a speed index Q (up to 160 km / h).
Under the brand Nordman, Nokian offers the medium price segment tires. The main part of the changes fell on the design of the tread pattern. There is some other than the predecessor tire, the form of drainage grooves. Now the grooves have a trapezoidal form. Such a solution limits the transverse mobility of tread ribs. Because of this, the car demonstrates better course stability, and more stable at high speeds than tire Nordman. SX. Size range - from 13 to 16 inches.
Goodyear.
This tire for those who often moves from the asphalt on the off-road. The model feature is that the additional layer of the breaker is made of kevlar, which is stronger than steel five times. In addition, the sidewall design is enhanced. All this protects the tire from punctures and cuts.
The updated tread pattern made it possible to reduce the noise and improve controllability on the asphalt road. The tire is offered in 24 sizes.
Toyo.
The directional drawing of the Toyo Proxes St. III tread, according to the creators, should form three images from the buyer: arrows, lightning and wings of the fighter. But in the picture everything is functionally. Lightning grooves are removed from the spot of contact, the wings on the outer part of the tire are responsible for the course stability. The beveled blocks in the central part of the tread due to their form are less deformed when braking or turning turns. Thus, they improve the clutch with the road.
Yokohama.
Advan Fleva V701 - new sports tirewhich the company Yokohama is produced under his advan brand. Let me remind you, under this brand they sell and. So, FLEVA V701 is a more versatile road tire intended for powerful cars. The tire will suit customers who primarily appreciate controllability.A rubber mixture consisting of silica, special polymers and orange oil is mixed in accordance with the results of computer simulation using Nanoblend Compound technology. As the manufacturer declares, the technology allows you to achieve a good balance between the tire behavior on the wet road, fuel savings and the wear resistance of the tire.
The novelty is available in 43 sizes, from 15 to 20 inches. Speed \u200b\u200bindexes V (up to 240 km / h) and W (up to 270 km / h).
When developing a tire, technologies tested on other tires were widely used. In particular, Nano Blend technology. In the rubber mixture, the content of silica increased to half the compound composition. As a result, compared with the predecessor C.Drive AC02, the brake properties of the novelty are improved by 20%. And the use of orange oil increased the resistance of the rubber mixture to stretching. Size range - from 14 to 18 inches.
Pirelli.
The Italian manufacturer expands the P Zero bid tires line. Tires for this series are installed on sports cars like, Ferrari GTC4 Lusso, Mercedes GT AMG and Porsche Boxter. Tires created in close cooperation with each of the manufacturers of these sports cars.
From the technologies applied in tires, select F1 BEAD. She appeared thanks to participationPirelli. formula 1 races.The essence lies in a particularly rigid rubber mixture in the side zone of the tire. This guarantees a fast and accurate response to the driver's control actions without an unexpected clutch loss with an expensive.
For Russian buyers, the P Zero tire line in the Spring-Summer 2017 season is represented in three tread patterns.
Tire has asymmetric pattern Tread and designed for luxury sedans. Distinctive feature This option P zero is an outdoor shoulder area. There are large blocks,divided Deep grooves. They play the role of peculiar shock absorbers, reducing shock loads from the road. As a result, comfort increases - for passengers of luxury sedans, it is more important than the honed handling.
But Pirelli P Zero GT Tires Just for those who want accurate reactions to the steering wheel. This model will suit tuning-karas and charged modifications of serial cars.
Finally, the third option isPirelli P Zero Corsa . This tire model has the most aggressive tread pattern. He looks like a racing half. The tire with such a pattern of the tread is designed primarily for use on sports cars. Therefore, the main task for developers was to make it so that the novelty can withstand high speed loads.
