Dunlop Direzza z2

The summer tire Dunlop Direzza z2 belongs to the models with ultra-high performance, being designed for use in sports versions of passenger cars. Structurally, it is a racing tire adapted for operation on public roads. It is characterized by uncompromising traction properties and precise steering when cornering, increased resistance to aquaplaning, strength and resistance to abrasive wear and overheating.

The tread pattern is made in a V-shaped design with two wide grooves in the central part and no less massive drainage elements, located at an aggressive angle and directed against the direction of movement. This significantly reduces the risk of aquaplaning, allowing the tire to maintain reliable traction on wet pavement. It shows the greatest efficiency on dry asphalt surfaces. This is ensured, first of all, by the characteristics of the tread rubber compound. It is extremely resistant not only to abrasive wear, cracks and delamination even under extremely high mechanical loads on the tire, but also to prolonged overheating, demonstrating excellent elasticity even on cold surfaces. An important circumstance that ensures uncompromising traction and high steering precision in such conditions is the tread pattern with a minimal number of elements. In fact, these are few grooves, spaced at a significant distance from each other. In combination with the profile of the tread, this provides significant contact patch sizes, maintaining them even under significant influence of multidirectional acceleration forces.

Main features of Dunlop Direzza z2:
- a tread pattern with a minimal number of voids provides uncompromising traction and handling;
- a tread profile from racing tires increases resistance to abrasive wear, reduces rolling resistance, makes it easier to control the car when driving at high speed;
- reinforced sidewalls ensure the integrity of the tire when subjected to strong impacts;
- a special rubber compound resistant to wear, delamination, cracking and prolonged overheating increases the mileage of the tire in the most difficult operating conditions.
