Description Achilles ATR Sport
The ATR Sport tire model is presented by the Indonesian company Achilles, which belongs to the tire giant - the well-known Finnish company Nokian, which has long established itself in the market of automotive tires. Tires from "Achilles" are famous all over the world, first and foremost, for their versatility. It lies in the fact that many tires from this manufacturer, including this one, being a priori summer, nevertheless, can be used, among other things, on winter roads.
Achilles ATR Sport is released with three speed indices - V, W and Y, which indicate that the maximum acceleration speed of this tire is 240, 270 and 300 km/h, respectively. This allows us to attribute this tire to the category of sports tires. The load index of this tire is 95 (up to 690 kilograms).
The sports character of the tire is clearly visible from the directed design of the tread pattern, the large blocks of which provide high-quality grip with any surface. The continuous central rib provides high directional stability during straight-line movement and a clear reaction to steering even at the highest speed.
This tire also features an effective water drainage system, which consists of four circular longitudinal grooves and numerous curved grooves in the shoulder areas. Thanks to them, effective removal of moisture from the contact patch with the road surface is carried out, as a result of which the risk of aquaplaning is, in fact, reduced to zero. This provides a good level of comfort and safety when moving at high speeds.
Safety is also contributed by the unique composition of the rubber mixture that makes up the tread, as well as the durable carcass developed by engineers, the basis of which is a steel belt.
It is also necessary to note that the Achilles ATR Sport tire is very economical. Economy is achieved due to the use of the original EcoSafe technology when developing the tire. This technology is patented by the company Achilles, and its features are not publicly disclosed. However, it is known that EcoSafe promotes minimized rolling resistance. This significantly improves the tire's handling characteristics and allows you to save on fuel consumption, which is a significant plus for a sports tire. In addition, this technology, due to the even distribution of pressure over the entire contact area with the road, allows increasing the wear resistance of the tire, so it will serve its owner for more than one season.
This model will be an excellent choice of tire for use in hot and dry city conditions in the summer. However, special developments by Achilles specialists have made it possible to achieve the possibility of using this tire throughout the year. So ATR Sport allows you to save on tire fitting and winter tires, while being far from the worst in terms of characteristics of all-season tires. It is contributed by the aggressive tread pattern, which can hold grip with a winter road. However, it is worth understanding that this tire cannot be used as a full-fledged winter tire and is not suitable for harsh winters in most of Russia. But for moderate winters in the European part of the country, the Achilles ATR Sport tire will be more than suitable.
In general, summing up, it is worth saying that this tire will be a very good choice for a high-speed tire for the spring, summer and autumn period with the possibility of use in winter, provided that it is moderate. This tire is for those who love speed, confidence while driving, and at the same time, know how to count money.
Distinctive features of Achilles ATR Sport
- Achilles ATR Sport is a summer sports tire for passenger cars with the possibility of year-round use.
- This tire has three speed indices - V, W and Y, which indicate that the maximum acceleration speed of this tire is 240, 270 and 300 km/h, respectively.
- The design of the tread pattern is directional. Large blocks confidently "bite" into the road surface, providing high-quality grip.
- The continuous central rib provides high directional stability during straight-line movement.
- The occurrence of aquaplaning on a wet road is prevented by a system of four longitudinal grooves. They are helped by curved grooves located in the shoulder areas to divert moisture from the contact patch.
- In order to give the tire strength and carrying capacity, its carcass was strengthened - its basis is a steel belt.
- The unique EcoSafe technology, patented by Achilles, minimizes rolling resistance, which improves the tire's handling characteristics, increases its wear resistance, and also reduces fuel consumption during movement.
- Good price-quality ratio.
