FirstStop Speed 205/55 R16 91V

The First Stop Speed summer tire stands out from most of its competitors not only with its more attractive price. The use of inexpensive but extremely effective technical solutions in its design has given it quite high operational characteristics. At the same time, it is impossible not to note the wide range of sizes, thanks to which this model is suitable for installation on almost any modern passenger car of the small and medium class.

Directional stability and maneuverability of First Stop Speed

One of the characteristic features of this model is its stability of behavior at any speed, as well as very fast and at the same time accurate reactions to the driver's actions. To a large extent, this was achieved thanks to the design of the central part and the shoulder areas of the V-shaped tread pattern.

In the center of the tread, there is a very wide longitudinal rib, divided by a drainage groove into two independent parts. Each of them, due to the continuous construction, has increased stiffness. In turn, the shoulder areas are distinguished by an open design containing a large number of very wide tread blocks. All these tread elements, due to their massive size, allow the tire First Stop Speed to remain stable even at very significant lateral accelerations.

Short braking distance and high efficiency during acceleration
Another feature of the tread of this tire is the presence of a significant number of very long edges of adhesion. Most of them are formed by tread blocks that start in the central part and end only in the shoulder areas. Such a design improves several important characteristics at once. In addition to increased efficiency during acceleration and braking, it increases the size of the contact patch and also increases stability during maneuvering.

Excellent grip on wet roads

Between the numerous blocks, there are drainage grooves. A significant part of them is located at a fairly sharp angle against the direction of movement. In combination with the curved shape, this many times increases the throughput of the drainage grooves, which, in turn, increases the resistance to aquaplaning.

Another important factor that provides increased grip on wet roads is the composition of the rubber mixture of First Stop Speed. A significant part of it is represented by silica, which gives the tread increased elasticity on cold, wet asphalt, and also - excellent resistance to abrasive wear.

Main features:

- V-shaped tread pattern with a double longitudinal rib in the center provides stable and reliable behavior at any speed;
- wide blocks in the shoulder area improve stability during maneuvering and cornering, as well as provide stable coupling properties during acceleration and deceleration;
- good resistance to aquaplaning due to numerous drainage grooves located at a sharp angle against the direction of movement and having a curved shape, increasing their throughput.
