Esa-Tecar Spirit UHP
Tire specifications
DescriptionDescription Esa-Tecar Spirit UHP
The summer passenger tire Esa-Tecar Spirit UHP belongs to the most numerous category of UHP, whose representatives are distinguished by exceptionally high operational characteristics. This is fully applicable to this model, designed for passenger cars capable of accelerating to a very high speed. One of the signs of the outstanding abilities of this tire is the asymmetric tread pattern, as well as the assigned speed index - Y.
Reliable and stable handling at high speed
One of the key features of this model is a large contact patch, the size of which remains unchanged in any circumstances. This was achieved thanks to a number of design features of the Esa-Tecar Spirit UHP tire. First of all, it is a lightweight and durable carcass, which has increased resistance to dynamic deformations that occur during movement. In addition, it is impossible not to note the multi-radius profile of the tread, thanks to which it is possible to level the impact of strong lateral accelerations when performing sharp maneuvers. As a result of these technical solutions, a refined, almost sporty handling was obtained, which surprisingly combines with a high level of riding comfort.
Excellent grip on wet roads
When driving on water-covered roads, this tire demonstrated excellent resistance to aquaplaning. This was achieved largely due to the four very wide drainage grooves located longitudinally in the central part of the tread. Their size allows them to accommodate a huge amount of water, which is then discharged through numerous transverse channels, leaving the contact patch almost dry.
Main features of the Esa-Tecar Spirit UHP tire
- Asymmetric tread pattern provides excellent traction in any weather conditions, even at very high speeds;
- Excellent resistance to aquaplaning, thanks to the high performance of the water drainage system, which includes four deep drainage grooves located in the central part of the tread;
- Large contact patch sizes remain unchanged regardless of road surface characteristics and driving mode, thanks to the multi-layered carcass construction, resistant to dynamic deformations.
