The Laufenn S-Fit EQ LK01 summer tire is positioned by the Chinese manufacturer as a premium-class model in the UHP category. High operating characteristics are provided by modern technologies and materials that have found wide application in the design of this tire.
Positive Aqua Hydro Block Technology
One of the innovations is the Positive Aqua Hydro Block technology. Its essence lies in the optimized design of the drainage system, developed using computer modeling tools. They made it possible to select such a combination of shapes, sizes, and arrangement of grooves, at which the water removed from the contact patch is maximally quickly removed beyond the limits of the tread. At the same time, original solutions are used. In particular, the longitudinal grooves have additional edges that provide more intensive water collection.
"Multi-radius" tread profile
Another application of computer modeling tools was the tread profile. Its shape is selected in such a way that the size and shape of the contact patch do not change under the influence of various acceleration forces on the tire. This property is additionally enhanced by the design of the carcass, which has been significantly strengthened by a two-layer breaker.
"Bridges" between shoulder blocks
Between the blocks in the shoulder areas, from the inside of the tread, there are special "bridges". These are crosspieces that limit the longitudinal mobility of these elements. This solution allowed to strengthen the coupling properties in turns, as well as to improve the manageability.
Main features of Laufenn S-Fit EQ LK01
- an optimized drainage system provides resistance to aquaplaning at any speed;
- blocks of the shoulder area connected by special "bridges" from the outside improve stability during maneuvering;
- a "multi-radius" tread profile prevents changes in the shape and size of the contact patch.
