The Maxxis HP-M3 Bravo summer tire is designed for those SUVs and crossovers that are used exclusively on paved roads. It is on them that it demonstrates all its numerous advantages, namely excellent grip on dry and wet surfaces, a high level of comfort, and a very long service life. Achieving such high operating characteristics was made possible by technologies that were previously used in racing tires and have proven their superior effectiveness.
5-rib non-directional tread
A significant part of the effectiveness of the Maxxis HP-M3 Bravo is ensured by the tread pattern. It is distinguished by a "time-tested" design with 5 longitudinally arranged ribs. Each of these elements has massive dimensions and a continuous structure, which gives the tire very stable and predictable behavior, especially when driving at high speeds.
Increased content of traction edges
One of the characteristic features of this model is the increased traction properties. They are provided due to the presence of a large number of traction edges. A significant part of them is formed not by blocks, but by slits made in them, lamellas, which are mainly arranged transversely and have a large extent. This allows the tire to demonstrate very high efficiency, both when accelerating and when braking. These properties are especially pronounced on a wet road. In such conditions, the lamellas not only form a multitude of traction edges but also drain water from the contact patch into one of the nearby drainage grooves, improving resistance to aquaplaning.
Increased stability in turns Maxxis HP-M3 Bravo
Another distinctive feature of the tread of this tire is the very wide shoulder zones. Each of them is a row of separate blocks of rectangular shape. Together with their transverse arrangement and the presence of several lamellas in them, this significantly reduces the braking distance.
Low noise level
When driving, this tire is distinguished by a very decent acoustic comfort. A significant part of it is ensured due to special longitudinal ribs located in the shoulder zones of the tread. They prevent the spread of noise generated by the numerous traction edges in the central part of the tread. As for the blocks of the shoulder zones, their noise has also been minimized due to their multi-stage arrangement relative to each other.
Main features:
- the Maxxis HP-M3 Bravo tire is designed for crossovers and SUVs, which are used predominantly on paved roads;
- a very rigid carcass structure, adapted for prolonged movement at high speed, gives the tire very stable and predictable behavior, as well as increases resistance to uneven wear;
- wide shoulder zones with numerous massive blocks improve traction in turns, provide clear feedback, optimize the distribution of external load on the contact patch, and reduce the braking distance;
- numerous lamellas increase the number of traction edges hundreds of times, and also prevent the occurrence of aquaplaning, due to the drainage of water from the contact patch into one of the nearby drainage grooves;
- a high level of acoustic comfort due to special sound-insulating longitudinal ribs in the shoulder zones of the tread.
