Imperial Ecosport 2 245/45 R20 103Y XL

The summer tire Imperial Ecosport 2 is designed for passenger cars. This model is significantly different from most similar products of other brands in terms of its operational properties. It is characterized by improved traction and high-speed directional stability, good fuel efficiency, and a long service life.

Asymmetric Tread

The balance between these operational properties was achieved largely due to the tread design. The elements that make up the tread are arranged asymmetrically and in such a way that several functional zones are formed during movement.

The shoulder zones provide tire stability during maneuvering and effective braking. At the same time, the blocks on the outer side of the tread are connected by rigid bridges. They limit the mobility of the elements relative to each other, which gives the tire's reactions to the driver's actions quickness and accuracy. In addition, the bridges significantly reduce the level of noise generated by the tread elements in its central part.

The key ones are the longitudinal ribs. They are made solid, narrow, and are arranged symmetrically, providing an even distribution of external load across the contact patch. Such features significantly improve directional stability and reduce rolling resistance.

Confident Behavior on Wet Roads

A significant part of the tread elements provides the tire with confident behavior on wet surfaces. The key role in this is assigned to the drainage grooves. They have a significant volume, which allows them to instantly divert a large amount of water from the contact patch. The efficiency of the drainage system is also ensured by numerous lamellas. Narrow slots, when in contact with the road surface, form high and sharp edges that direct moisture into one of the nearby grooves.

Main Features of Imperial Ecosport 2

- solid longitudinal ribs in the center improve directional stability, reduce rolling resistance, prevent premature wear;
- wide shoulder blocks provide grip during maneuvering, reduce braking distance;
- rigid bridges between blocks on the outer side reduce noise, improve handling;
- voluminous drainage grooves and lamellas prevent aquaplaning.
