Pirelli P400 Aquamile 155/70 R13 75T

The Pirelli P400 Aquamile tire is a modernized version of the P400 Touring, which has been very well received by motorists in many countries around the world. This model differs from it with an increased service life and increased resistance to aquaplaning, which is reflected in its name. At the same time, the improvement of these operational characteristics was achieved without compromising others, which is due to the use of a number of advanced technologies in its design. In addition to efficiency, they are distinguished by the fact that in certain road conditions, they enhance and complement each other's action.

Excellent grip on wet roads

The Italian tire manufacturers were able to improve the gripping properties on wet roads by changing the design of the tread pattern, as well as the composition of the rubber mixture. One of the main innovations is the presence of three very wide longitudinal drainage grooves. At the same time, the number of transverse grooves has been increased. In addition, their significant inclination gives them increased throughput. This largely explains the high resistance to aquaplaning of this model.
As for the rubber mixture, its composition is characterized by an increased content of silica. This component significantly improves grip on a wet road, and also increases the resistance to wear of the tread.

Stability in any conditions

Another feature of this tire is its practically square contact patch shape, as well as the constancy of its geometric parameters at any driving modes. To a large extent, this is due to the tread, the profile of which has a variable curvature. Another factor that ensures the stability of the contact patch shape and size is the breaker reinforced with an additional layer of synthetic cord. These design features improve the stability of the gripping properties and also make the handling predictable due to transparent feedback.

Main features of the Pirelli P400 Aquamile tire

- excellent gripping properties on a wet road due to the large size and increased number of drainage grooves, as well as the increased content of silica in the rubber mixture composition;
- a multi-radius tread profile and a reinforced breaker design improve the stability of the gripping properties, ensure predictable behavior in complex situations, make the feedback transparent, which significantly simplifies the process of managing the vehicle.
