Although the manufacturer claims the possibility of operating the Durun D103 tire for a longer period of the year, the tread pattern of this model is designed for summer operation. The low cost of this model adds to its appeal, making the purchase even more justified. The size range of this tire consists of 3 sizes for wheels with a rim diameter of 12 and 14 inches.
Excellent directional stability
For this tire, the company's specialists preferred to use a classic 5-rib design of the tread pattern. It is characterized by the presence of a rigid longitudinal rib in the center. The main functional purpose of this tread element is to provide excellent directional stability when moving at any speed. This was achieved due to the absence of any interruptions throughout the central longitudinal rib.
Excellent traction properties
A distinctive feature of the tread pattern of this model is the presence of a huge number of traction edges. They are formed by a multitude of separate blocks of predominantly quadrangular shape, grouped into four longitudinal ribs, if the shoulder zones are counted. Thanks to the open design of the tread pattern, the contact patch at any given time has a multitude of traction edges.
Low level of resonant noise and rolling resistance
Each of the numerous traction edges is a source of noise and a cause of increased rolling resistance. To reduce its level, all blocks were arranged with a different pitch relative to each other, which made it possible to significantly reduce the level of resonant noise and vibrations. Additionally, all block edges are arranged at a significant angle relative to the direction of movement. With the help of this solution, it was possible to reduce the rolling resistance, while keeping the number of tread blocks at the same level, thus providing excellent traction properties.
Key features of Durun D103
- excellent directional stability thanks to 5 longitudinal ribs formed by separate tread elements;
- high efficiency of the drainage system, which was achieved due to the open design of the tread pattern, abundant with numerous water drainage grooves;
- low noise level due to the multi-step arrangement of all tread elements;
- a multitude of separate blocks provides excellent traction properties, especially on wet surfaces.
