The target audience of the Maxxis ME3+ Mecotra summer tire is the owners of compact and mid-size passenger cars seeking a combination of comfort and fuel efficiency in such products. It is these operational properties that prevail in this model, which is distinguished by its soft and quiet ride, low rolling resistance.
The excellent fuel efficiency of this model is achieved through a whole range of solutions. One of them is the optimized design of the sidewalls. They deform in such a way that a significant part of the impact from the road surface is absorbed, which not only increases the level of comfort but also reduces rolling resistance. A similar influence is exerted by the physico-chemical properties of the compound, which is more than half composed of fine silica. This component also improves traction on wet surfaces. In such conditions, the effectiveness of the tread is ensured by the tread design with enlarged drainage grooves and the area of contact with the road surface. Another important feature is the presence of "three-dimensional" lamellas. The edges formed by them enhance resistance to aquaplaning and traction on wet surfaces. At the same time, their walls, fixing the slots in the open position, increase the stiffness of the blocks, improving handling and stability.
Main features of Maxxis Mecotra ME3
- optimized sidewall design provides softness on the move, reduces rolling resistance;
- "three-dimensional" lamellas improve traction on wet surfaces and when maneuvering;
- curved grooves prevent aquaplaning, while straight grooves in the shoulder blocks improve handling.
