The Federal Formoza AZ01 summer tire is one of the practical results of the shift in the development direction of the Chinese tire industry. This model, designed primarily for powerful passenger cars, was developed by foreign specialists. This is reflected in its characteristics, first and foremost, handling, which can be called "European".
Multifunctional asymmetric tread pattern
This tire is characterized by stable and reliable traction properties in various driving modes. This feature is given to it by the asymmetric design of the tread pattern, divided into several separate areas. Each of them performs certain tasks.
In particular, the design of the outer side of the tread contains many massive blocks. Their high rigidity allows the tire to optimally distribute the load over the contact patch. This feature, on the one hand, improves traction when maneuvering, and on the other hand, increases stability when cornering.
In turn, the inner side of the tread contains many separate elements of relatively small size. Increasing their number allowed to correspondingly increase the number of traction edges, most of which are located transversely. This significantly improves the longitudinal traction properties. The second function of the inner part of the tread is to drain water from the contact patch, which is carried out through numerous drainage grooves.
Main features
- asymmetric tread with several separate zones gives the tire stable and reliable traction properties in any driving mode;
- good stability when maneuvering, thanks to the high rigidity of the massive blocks of the shoulder area from the outside;
- good longitudinal traction properties are ensured by the open design of the inner side of the tread.
