point S – SUMMERSTAR SPORT 3
Summer tyres need to perform two distinct functions; On dry roads, they must be able to cope with high driving speeds without bursting, On wet roads, they must have a good grip to avoid aquaplaning and to reduce braking distances. Specially engineered for upmarket or sport cars, The Summerstar Sport 3 tyre meets these requirements. It is comparable to the tyres designed by the largest European manufacturers.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The tyre tread design (or pattern) is a decisive factor in determining the quality of a tyre. The more technical the tread, the higher performance the tyre will achieve. The Summerstar Sport 3 has been specially designed to this end. The optimised groove ratio and the stiffness of its block allows reduced noise levels and improved braking capability. Its tread compound provides very good grip and reduced rolling resistance.
HANDLING
The two outer circumferential ribs provide higher lateral stiffness to the tyre for a safe ride and a reduced braking distance on wet roads.
AQUAPLANING
Four circumferential grooves allow for excellent water drainage in the footprint area. This results in a reduced risk of aquaplaning.
WET PERFORMANCE
A new concept of longer and deeper sipes with a high
and consistent number of biting edges. The braking
distance is therefore reduced on wet roads through-
out the entire tyre life.
COMFORT
Four circumferential grooves allow for excellent water drainage in the footprint area. This results in a reduced risk of aquaplaning.
point S – SUMMERSTAR 3
Summer tyres need to perform two distinct functions; On dry roads, they must be able to cope with high driving speeds without bursting, On wet roads, they must have a good grip to avoid aquaplaning and to reduce braking distances. The Summerstar 3 tyre was designed to fit a wide range of vehicles. Designed in Germany and made in Europe, it possesses excellent technical qualities in terms of rubber compound and tread pattern.
DRY PERFORMANCE
The two outer circumferential tread ribs give the tyre
more lateral and longitudinal stiffness which results in
safe handling and reduced braking distance on dry roads.
WET PERFORMANCE
Four circumferential grooves allow for excellent water drainage in the footprint area. This results in a reduced risk of aquaplaning.
COMFORT
The closed shoulders and the cone-shaped lateral grooves allow for noise reduction and greater ride comfort.
COMPOUND
Over 10 rubber compounds are used to make the Summerstar tyre in order to achieve higher performances.
