Gislaved ActiveControl 265/65 R17 112H

A summer driving model, Gislaved ActiveControl, is not just a universal solution, but an optimized product for dynamic driving on modern roads. The tire is designed for drivers who value uncompromising stability at high speeds and instant reaction to steering commands, without sacrificing acoustic comfort and operational economy.

Stiffness for speed and durability

The tread base features a special pattern built on the principle of zonality. The central part is formed by three massive, reinforced longitudinal ribs. This design is the main load-bearing element, which guarantees exceptional directional stability and straight-line motion on highways, minimizing the need for steering corrections. In addition, it optimizes the deformation of the contact patch, which directly reduces rolling resistance to improve fuel efficiency.

Precision in turns

The outer zones feature elongated blocks of increased stiffness, forming a powerful shoulder. Their task is to provide maximum mechanical grip with the road when cornering. The rigid structure of the blocks minimizes deformations under load, providing predictable handling, clear response, and high-level feedback.

Control on wet roads

Safety on wet surfaces is ensured by a complex of engineering solutions. Wide grooves in the central zone act like highly efficient pumps, actively cutting and draining water from under the contact patch, counteracting hydroplaning. An optimized network of lamellas and increased volume of water-draining grooves maintain their effectiveness even with significant tread wear, providing a consistently short braking distance.

Comfort and efficiency

The calculation of the rhythm and arrangement of tread elements allowed for the neutralization of sound resonance, significantly reducing the noise level in the cabin. In combination with a stiff carcass providing precise response, this creates an impression of confident control and a comfortable, calm atmosphere on long trips.

Key features of Gislaved ActiveControl:

- a three-rib central zone provides stability at speed, reduced rolling resistance, and increased durability;
- shoulder blocks of reinforced design guarantee precise handling and reliable grip in turns;
- numerous grooves and wear-resistant lamellas minimize the risk of aquaplaning and maintain braking effectiveness on wet roads;
- an optimized tread element arrangement reduces the rolling noise level for comfortable operation.
