All-season tire Petlas Imperium PT535 for compact passenger cars is designed with regard to the specific climate of European countries with their so-called "warm winters". This model is characterized by reliable coupling properties on wet and slush-covered roads, as well as a quiet and soft ride, fuel efficiency.
The tread pattern contains a large number of lamellas. They, along with the blocks in which they are cut, allow maintaining reliable handling on wet and snowy surfaces. In such conditions, wide drainage grooves provide intensive removal of water and its heavy mixture with snow from the contact patch. On cleared dry roads, the effectiveness of the tread is achieved due to the stiffness of the longitudinal rib in the middle and large blocks at the edges. They increase the accuracy of handling and provide excellent directional stability when moving at high speed.
Key features of Petlas Imperium PT535
- increased density of lamella arrangement improves traction and coupling properties on wet and snowy surfaces;
- a rubber compound with a high content of "silica" remains elastic at low temperatures, providing the tire with more reliable coupling in such conditions;
- a rigid middle rib and massive blocks in the shoulder areas increase stability and handling accuracy at high speed.
