Maxxis MA-551 195/55 R15 85V

The Maxxis MA-551 summer tire is perfectly suited for everyday use on roads with any surface quality. It stands out for its increased strength and wear resistance, handling comfort on both dry and wet surfaces, and high-speed traction stability.

The tread pattern is a combination of solid longitudinal ribs and numerous blocks. The first are located in the central part, differing in increased resistance to deformation. Such elements provide ease of handling at high speeds, increasing directional stability and traction stability, reducing rolling resistance and preventing uneven wear of the entire tread. The shoulder areas are composed of individual blocks that form elongated transverse edges. They allow the tire to demonstrate intense braking on wet surfaces, as well as avoid the formation of a continuous water film between it and the road surface. It is worth noting the presence of a large number of drainage elements, primarily longitudinal grooves, which also provide tire stability against hydroplaning. They have a U-shaped form, which additionally increases their functionality and impact on handling on wet surfaces. A significant feature of the tire is the compound. Its composition was largely borrowed from commercial vehicle tires of the Asian brand. As a result, it stands out for its exceptional resistance to abrasive wear, punctures, and tears, which significantly increases the mileage of this model, especially when operated on poor roads.

Key features of Maxxis MA-551:
- the dual longitudinal rib in the center of the tread increases the accuracy of handling and traction stability at high speeds;
- numerous blocks on the edges of the tread provide stable traction and intense braking on wet surfaces;
- the increased width and U-shaped profile of the longitudinal grooves reduce the risk of aquaplaning, ensuring reliable handling on wet surfaces.
