The Maxxis M35 Victra Asymmet summer radial passenger tire from the world-renowned Taiwanese manufacturer is designed for passenger cars. This tire belongs to the category of high-performance tires, as evidenced by the highest speed indices assigned to it - "V", "W" and "Y".
The unique design of the asymmetric directional tread pattern provides the tire with high handling and durability when driving at high speeds. The wide central rib, without breaks, gives the tire instant responsive reactions even to the slightest movement of the steering wheel, as well as excellent directional stability. The other two ribs located in the central part of the tread have different widths.
The rib located on the outside has a larger width, as due to the displacement of the center of gravity, one side of the tire is more loaded when turning than the inner one, which increases the coupling characteristics when cornering. Additionally, the outer central rib has water drainage channels, the specially designed shape of which increases the speed of water removal from the contact patch.
For more confident and safe driving on wet roads, the tread pattern of the Maxxis M35 Victra Asymmet tire is equipped with four longitudinal drainage grooves, three of which, located on the outside of the tread, are wider than the one located on the inside. This scheme of groove arrangement, as well as their different widths, is designed to prevent the occurrence of aquaplaning even when cornering at high speed in rainy conditions.
To ensure the stability of the tire's behavior when cornering at high speed, the shoulder areas of the tread have a larger width, and their rounded profile prevents the appearance of uneven wear, the cause of which is deformation that occurs when cornering.
Main features of Maxxis M35 Victra Asymmet
- a unique asymmetric design of the directional tread pattern gives the tire high efficiency when driving at very high speeds;
- three rigid ribs located on the outside of the tread provide excellent handling in corners and quick response to steering wheel turns;
- the original design of the inner shoulder area enhances water circulation in the tire's contact patch, which increases traction on wet roads;
- a silica-containing rubber compound improves traction even on very wet surfaces;
- a high level of comfort while driving, thanks to the optimized scheme of arranging tread elements;
- a layer of nylon fibers in the carcass makes the tire elastic and resistant to punctures and cuts.
