In many ways, the summer passenger tire LingLong GL699 is unique. The fact is that it is offered in one, but very popular size, 195/50 R15. At the same time, the speed index V assigned to it implies compliance with a high level of safety when driving, up to 240 km/h. Excellent speed characteristics are provided by the modern tread pattern, most of the solutions of which could previously be seen in the tire products of leading global brands.
Arrow-shaped blocks of the central longitudinal rib
One of them is the numerous blocks located in the very center of the LingLong GL699 tread, where they form a longitudinal rib. Despite the presence of a large number of gripping edges, this tread element is distinguished by very high resistance to dynamic deformation. It is provided by the presence of a rigid connection between all the blocks. Thanks to this design feature, this model demonstrates excellent directional stability, as well as fast and accurate responses to the driver's actions, which significantly simplifies the process of controlling the vehicle.
Excellent grip properties in the longitudinal direction
In addition to the rib with arrow-shaped blocks in the central part of the tread, there are two more similar elements. They also have a block structure, but their tread edges are located at a less acute angle relative to the direction of movement. This design feature made it possible to improve the efficiency of acceleration, especially on wet roads. At the same time, the significant inclination of the edges makes it possible to significantly reduce rolling resistance.
High braking efficiency
The shoulder zones of the tread also have a block structure. However, the blocks that make them up are distinguished by more massive sizes and a transverse arrangement of gripping edges. This made it possible to achieve maximum braking efficiency, especially on wet roads.
Main features of the LingLong GL699 tire
- excellent applicability, despite the limited range of offered sizes;
- original symmetrical tread pattern with an aggressive V-shaped design provides excellent grip in any weather conditions;
- excellent directional stability, accuracy and speed of response to steering wheel turns due to the rigid design of the central tread rib with arrow-shaped blocks;
- exceptionally high resistance to aquaplaning is provided by a large number of drainage grooves, a significant part of which has a curved shape, contributing to the acceleration of water circulation along them;
- a multi-radius profile of the shoulder zones in combination with their excellent resistance to dynamic deformation provides increased stability when cornering.
