The summer tire GT Radial FE1 City is one of the novelties of the famous Asian brand. A distinctive feature of the model is more pronounced, compared to other brand tires, fuel-saving capabilities. These properties were achieved without compromising other characteristics, such as traction on wet roads, which is noticeably better than that of most competitors from other brands.
Improved rubber compound
One of the innovations of the tire is the modified composition of the rubber compound. It features special polymers that provide faster heat dissipation at the molecular level, which in turn reduces rolling resistance and, as a result, fuel consumption. Additionally, the reduced heating of the tire, especially when driving at high speeds, significantly increases the lifespan of its tread.
Lightweight design
Another feature of the model is its low weight. It was possible to reduce it without compromising the strength of the design, which, like other brand tires, has excellent reliability. This is ensured by the physicochemical properties of the materials used. The carcass has a multi-layer structure, entirely made of synthetic cord. Moreover, this solution also reduces the level of tire heating during movement.
Optimized tread design
A significant part of the credit for ensuring fuel efficiency belongs to the tread pattern design. The number of individual elements in it has been significantly reduced, and their shape and arrangement have been selected to minimize rolling resistance without compromising other operational properties. The tire provides efficient acceleration and deceleration, regardless of road surface characteristics and the presence of water on it.
