The Kingstar RF03 summer passenger tire was specially designed for vehicles with increased cross-country ability, including not only crossovers but also SUVs. Another key feature of this model is its tread pattern, which allows confident movement both on highways and on rough terrain, while demonstrating a high level of safety.
Central longitudinal rib
In the center of the tread, there is a longitudinal rib formed by many separate rectangular blocks. The main functional purpose of this tread element is to provide high directional stability and reduce the reaction time to steering wheel turns. This was achieved due to the ability of the triangular blocks to perfectly handle the impact of dynamic deformation. In addition, these blocks form many additional edges, thus providing increased grip with the road.
Block structure of the central part of the tread
In addition to the central rib, the Kingstar RF03 has two more rows of separate blocks in this part of the tread. They also improve directional stability due to their location. However, they play a much more significant role in providing high cross-country ability. Compared to similar tread elements that form the central rib, these blocks have more massive dimensions, which, on the one hand, allowed increasing the contact patch area, and on the other hand, improved cross-country ability on rough terrain.
Excellent cross-country ability on sand and mud
For a tire in the All Terrain category, this model has excellent abilities on soft unstable soils. This became possible due to the optimized design of the shoulder areas. This part of the tread also consists of many separate blocks. But in this case, their shape and size allow them to demonstrate high efficiency on soft soils, where they work on the same principle as the mud grips on special off-road tires.
Key features of Kingstar RF03
- symmetrical non-directional tread pattern is well-suited for operation on any type of road surface, including rough terrain;
- multifunctional central longitudinal rib provides directional stability and improved traction on slippery surfaces;
- block structure of the tread pattern allows confident movement off paved roads.
