Firemax FM515 235/70 R16

The summer tire Firemax FM515 is installed on SUV class vehicles and off-road vehicles. Belonging to the High Terrain category, the model is characterized by improved traction properties, wear resistance, and fuel efficiency on paved roads.

Trapezoidal shoulder blocks

The shoulder areas of the tread contain a large number of blocks that have a trapezoidal shape in the lateral projection. It gives them additional stability against the action of lateral acceleration forces. As a result, the tire demonstrates stability of traction properties when maneuvering.

Multifunctional lamellas

The tread pattern contains a large number of lamellas. Narrow cuts are multifunctional, as they improve several important properties at once. The most obvious of them is traction on wet pavement. In addition, the sharp edges formed by the lamellas direct water into one of the nearby drainage grooves, providing more intense drying of the tire's contact area with the road surface. Another important function of the cuts is the optimization of load distribution. This significantly reduces the rate of tread wear and also has a positive effect on handling, making it reliable and predictable.

Acoustic comfort

The design in the shoulder areas is characterized by closedness, thanks to the solid construction of the longitudinal ribs located in them. They do not allow the noise from the blocks in the central part to propagate outward. This has a positive effect on the overall acoustic comfort.

Key features of Firemax FM515

- designed for off-road vehicles and crossovers used primarily on paved roads;
- shoulder blocks resistant to lateral acceleration provide stability during maneuvering;
- numerous lamellas prevent aquaplaning, ensure even tread wear;
- solid longitudinal ribs in the edge areas improve acoustic comfort.
