The summer tire Maxxis MP10 Mecotra is designed for small-class passenger cars. It is positioned by the manufacturer as an economy-class model that has an ideal balance of basic operational properties. The lack of "weak points" is due to the use of modern technologies and materials in its design.
Improved traction on wet surfaces
The tire tread is equipped with a productive drainage system, the basis of which consists of four wide longitudinal grooves in the central part. Their ability to drain the contact patch is enhanced by numerous transverse grooves, as well as lamellas. These narrow slits simultaneously direct water into one of the nearby grooves and form numerous edges, ensuring even more traction on wet surfaces.
Increased contact patch
On dry surfaces, the reliability of traction properties is guaranteed by the size of the contact patch. It was possible to increase its area due to several solutions. First of all, this is the design of the tread, the elements of which are made massive. In addition, its profile is selected in such a way that when loaded, it gives the contact patch the maximum size. Its shape at the same time becomes almost rectangular, which has a positive effect not only on traction but also on handling and service life.
Main features of Maxxis MP10 Mecotra
- improved traction on wet surfaces is provided by a productive drainage system and multifunctional lamellas;
- an increased contact patch, thanks to the optimized tread profile and massive dimensions of its elements;
- a shortened braking distance is provided by wide shoulder blocks;
- rigid connectors between the blocks of the shoulder zones improve handling, reduce the noise level.
