Due to addition of special components, for example, of silicon acid, excellent grip with the wet road is provided, the braking distance on a dry road is reduced and resistance of tread to abrasive wear increases.
- Multilayered tread structure. To provide the best traction and grip characteristics, some producers use materials of various rigidness for tread production. The soft inside layer provides excellent grip and increases braking efficiency, more rigid external layer improves a road-holding ability of the vehicle and increases safety when maneuvering.
- The optimized tread pattern. A large number of sipes and carefully thought over arrangement of water evacuation grooves reduce effect of hydroplaning considerably and promote self-cleaning. Some summer SUV/Offroad auto tyres are capable to take away about 43 liters of water per second at the speed of movement of 75 km/h and at the vehicle wading depth of 10 millimeters.
- The strengthened cord and massive shoulders zones. Thanks to them the course stability increases and steering of the vehicle with 4x4 drive improves.
