Light summer tire Ironman iMOVE SUV of the famous North American manufacturer is designed for various passenger cars of the SUV class, as well as for some vehicles with increased passability.
A distinctive feature of the tread pattern design of this tire is an asymmetric scheme for arranging elements. The asymmetric tread pattern made it possible to radically improve the water drainage from the tire's contact patch. The tread pattern of the Ironman iMOVE SUV tire contains three central ribs and two shoulder zones located on the sides of the tread, separated by four longitudinal grooves, through which water is drained from the contact patch, providing excellent tire traction when driving on very wet roads.
Through the central longitudinal continuous rib, constant contact with the road surface is maintained, which provides excellent tire traction when driving on dry roads, and the indicators of directional stability are also significantly improved.
The wide longitudinal rib located on the inside of the tread, the surface of which is dotted with many diagonal notches, improves traction and braking performance when driving on both dry and wet surfaces. The narrower rib located on the opposite side is divided into quadrangular blocks, which increases the indicators of traction and traction when cornering.
The wide shoulder zones of the tread, also divided into separate blocks, are responsible for the stability of the traction characteristics when cornering, effectively preventing the occurrence of skidding. In addition, the rounded profile of the shoulder zones is an effective means of combating uneven wear.
The composition of the rubber mixture of the Ironman iMOVE SUV tire was selected taking into account the operation of the tire on very wet roads and has a high silica content, which significantly improved the tire's traction even with very wet surfaces.
The main features of the Ironman iMOVE SUV tire
- Excellent operational characteristics, including low rolling resistance, softness and comfort when driving, excellent traction on dry and wet roads, thanks to the original design of the asymmetric tread pattern of the tire;
- Continuous central rib provides excellent indicators of directional stability;
- High silica content in the rubber compound, combined with four water drainage grooves and an asymmetric pattern, gave the tire excellent handling characteristics when driving even on very wet roads.
