The Delinte D8 summer tire belongs to the Ultra High Performance category models, differing from most similar tires of other brands with a fairly specific set of operational properties. It stands out with improved traction on wet pavement, increased handling accuracy, along with fuel efficiency and a long service life.
The directional tread pattern is characterized by a high density of element arrangement. In combination with the variable curvature profile of the tread, this increases the contact patch, providing an even distribution of pressure across the road surface. In motion, this manifests itself in the stability of traction properties, both on straight road sections and in turns, ensuring ease of vehicle handling. A feature of the tread pattern is the arrangement of a significant part of the drainage elements in the central part at an angle and against the direction of movement, which allows the use of wheel rotation to increase the speed of water flow. This significantly reduces the risk of aquaplaning, maintaining resistance to the occurrence of this effect even with significant tread wear.
Key features of Delinte D8:
- directional tread pattern with V-shaped groove arrangement is effective on wet pavement;
- optimized tread profile improves traction and handling on dry pavement;
- increased stiffness of the blocks at the edges of the tread improves directional stability and handling accuracy in turns;
- rubber compound with a high proportion of "silica" in the composition ensures reliable handling on wet surfaces
