Summer tire for SUVs and crossovers GT Radial Champiro HPY SUV is designed based on the same model intended for passenger cars. It differs in an exceptionally reinforced frame and sidewalls, as well as a range of sizes that include options with a rim diameter from 17 to 20 inches.
Universal asymmetric tread
The balanced properties of the tire are largely due to the use of an asymmetric tread, divided into several functional areas. Its outer part improves grip and stability during lateral acceleration, as well as providing quick and accurate transmission to the steering wheel. In turn, the inner side of the tread with a more open design gives the tire increased efficiency during acceleration and braking.
Optimized compound
The tire tread is made from a compound that consists of more than half silica. With the help of this component, confident behavior on wet surfaces is ensured, and the service life is increased. In addition, the rubber mixture contains special polymers that reduce the heating of the tread during prolonged high-speed driving.
Low risk of aquaplaning
The tire tread contains four longitudinal drainage grooves. With the exception of one, each of them has a significant internal volume. This significantly reduces the likelihood of losing contact with the road at high speed. Here, it is also worth noting the semi-circular shape of these elements. It additionally increases the directional stability.
