In the process of creating the summer tire Kormoran Impulser B2, the technologies of Michelin, developed for its "energy-efficient" models, were widely used. The Polish brand is now part of the structure of the French tire giant, which gives its customers an affordable opportunity to get a high-tech product with excellent operational properties for its category.
Fuel Efficiency
The tire is equipped with a V-shaped tread. It has a number of advantages, one of which is low rolling resistance. This is ensured by the inclined position of most of the contact edges formed by both blocks and lamellas cut into them.
Low Risk of Aquaplaning
Except for the three longitudinal grooves in the center, all elements of the drainage system are located at a significant angle and against the direction of movement. This made it possible to increase their throughput using the rotation of the wheel, thanks to which the contact patch is constantly drained with very high intensity. As a result, the tire retains its resistance to aquaplaning at almost any speed.
Stability in Turns
The shoulder blocks of the tread have a number of features that improve several important properties of the tire at once. First of all, it is an elongated and trapezoidal shape in the side projection. It provides the blocks with exceptional resistance to deformation under the influence of lateral acceleration forces. As a result, not only the traction properties in turns are improved, but also the control of the car, which becomes very easy and simple to manage.
Key Features of Kormoran Impulser B2
- developed using Michelin technologies and materials;
- reduced rolling resistance;
- resistant to aquaplaning at high speeds thanks to a very efficient drainage system;
