Summer tire Kapsen S801, belonging to the High Performance category, will suit car owners who, in addition to traction and braking properties, value acoustic comfort, fuel efficiency, and reliable predictable behavior in any conditions.
Balance between comfort and handling
The tire features a tread with an asymmetric design. Its distinctive feature is that all elements are arranged in such a way that when contacting the road surface, continuous transverse ribs of a Z-shaped form are formed. This improves several operational properties at once. First of all, the level of acoustic comfort, which is significantly increased due to the fact that all tread elements have a multi-step arrangement, excluding the occurrence of resonant noise. This solution also provides an increase in the size of the contact patch, which improves traction and handling.
Silica-containing compound
More than half of the compound from which the tire tread is made consists of silica-containing components. They increase its elasticity to such a level that it becomes possible to very tightly envelop all irregularities on the asphalt surface. This significantly improves traction in rainy conditions and also reduces rolling resistance.
Handling and durability
The design of the breaker in this model contains an additional synthetic cord. Being located directly under the tread, it significantly increases its resistance to deformations, which, in turn, has a positive effect on handling and the duration of the operational resource.
Key features of Kapsen S801
- universal asymmetric tread provides excellent performance and comfort level in any conditions;
- compound with increased silica content improves traction on wet roads, reduces fuel consumption;
