The summer tire Maxxis MCV3+ VanSmart is designed for small commercial vehicles. It is characterized by reliability, long service life, resistance to aquaplaning, and a high level of acoustic comfort.
Increased number of lamellas
When developing the tire, special attention was paid to ensuring maximum traction properties on wet surfaces. To achieve this, the developers increased the number of narrow slits - lamellas. Several types of such elements are used here. Wave-like slits are located parallel to the direction of movement and improve directional stability. Since these elements are located in the shoulder zones, their effect is preserved even when maneuvering. Straight lamellas are also located there, which strengthen the grip during longitudinal accelerations, forming numerous sharp edges.
Resistance to uneven wear
The long service life is largely due to the high resistance of the tread to uneven wear. This is ensured by the optimized design of the shoulder zones. Each of them contains massive blocks. They are connected by a wide longitudinal rib. Such a rigid support limits the mobility of the blocks, optimizing the distribution of external load on the contact patch, making it as uniform as possible. This significantly reduces the risk of uneven wear, even when operating the tire with overload.
Confident behavior on wet surfaces
The tire's tread provides extremely high resistance to aquaplaning. It is ensured by three longitudinal drainage grooves in the central part. These elements have a large internal volume, thanks to which almost any amount of water can be diverted from the contact patch at one time. At the same time, the wave-like shape of the drainage grooves reduces the risk of resonance noise and vibration, which has a positive effect on acoustic comfort.
Main features:
- designed for small commercial vehicles;
- a tread with an increased number of lamellas provides reliable traction with a wet surface;
- wide shoulder blocks are rigidly connected to each other and reduce the risk of uneven wear;
- longitudinal wave-like drainage grooves in the central part provide resistance to aquaplaning and acoustic comfort.
Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetrico
The summer tire Pirelli PZero Rosso Asimmetrico is designed for medium and large sports cars. It is distinguished by balanced operating properties, demonstrating excellent traction, precise steering, and acoustic and driving comfort.
Low risk of aquaplaning
One of the characteristic features of the model is an extremely low risk of aquaplaning, even at high speeds. This is due to the high performance of the drainage system. Its key elements are four longitudinal grooves in the central part. The large internal volume allows almost any amount of water to be diverted from the contact patch at one time. Also, in the central part, there are numerous transverse grooves. Their curved shape and aggressive slope provide the fastest possible circulation of fluid, which significantly increases the tread's resistance to aquaplaning.
Stability in turns
A significant part of the tread is allocated to the shoulder zones. Each of them contains long blocks that extend to the sidewalls of the tire and are connected by a wide solid longitudinal rib. Such a design, when maneuvering and cornering, increases the contact patch, providing stable traction. When accelerating longitudinally, the risk of wheel slipping is reduced, and the braking distance is shortened. In addition, the very rigid shoulder zones, providing fast and accurate transmission of acceleration forces to the steering wheel, make it easier to control the vehicle, especially at high speeds.
Main features:
- designed for medium and full-size sports cars;
- the asymmetric tread pattern is effective in any driving mode;
- four longitudinal drainage grooves minimize the risk of aquaplaning;
- wide shoulder zones with blocks rigidly connected to each other reduce uneven wear and provide reliable traction when maneuvering;
- the rounded inner shape of the longitudinal drainage grooves enhances directional stability and maneuverability.
