Maxxis MA-202 – is an all-season tire from a Taiwanese manufacturer that belongs to the budget segment and can be installed on a wide range of compact cars. The model stands out for its efficiency, both on dry and wet asphalt. The tire demonstrates the peak of its capabilities in the conditions of European winter.
The basis for the tread is an asymmetric structure, represented by three segmented ribs in the central part. They form the basis of the contact zone, contributing to reliable traction and improved traction properties. This is due to the numerous gripping edges with a diagonal direction. Thanks to such a structure, lateral and longitudinal skidding are minimized, and the behavior of the vehicle on a wet road is optimized. Wide shoulder zones with alternately arranged blocks improve stability when making turns and turns, making maneuverability maximally controlled.
The compound of the model is represented by a modern composition, which includes such a component as silicon dioxide. It most effectively adapts the rubber to various temperature regimes, contributing to the preservation of the optimal level of elasticity and resilience. This is reflected in the preservation of acceleration and braking parameters (reduction of braking distance and minimization of wheel slip on a slippery surface when starting).
Main features of Maxxis MA-202:
- all-season use on compact class cars;
- developed ribbed structure of the main part of the contact area of the tread, increasing the accuracy of maneuvering and responsiveness of control;
- high degree of adaptation of the compound to a wide temperature range;
- efficiency of traction properties, both on dry and slippery asphalt, as well as in the presence of snow-covered areas
