The P5000 Dragon model is a summer tire for passenger cars with a medium power class of HP.
In the production process of the tread, a special rubber compound with additives of synthetic polymers and silicon was used, which increased the traction and adhesion properties. The patented "WET" tread pattern technology was also used, which includes: a double deep channel as the main element, located in the center of the tread pattern for water drainage, having a W-shaped cross-section with a central sealing rib. The transverse grooves are in the form of a "fir tree" with a variable depth of 8.5-9.5 mm, which depends on the tread zone and has a constantly increasing inclined angle. This optimizes the drainage properties of the tire on wet road surfaces.
The tire's carcass has properties such as elasticity, super lightness, and increased strength. These properties allow for an increase in the effectiveness of the combination of the rubber compound and the tread pattern. The tire's sidewall has a special design - the "progressive stiffness" feature. This development by the company's engineers has no analogs - the more the tire bends under load, the more it resists this load. The Pirelli P5000 Dragon tire performs excellently on any road surface. This model is for those who want to get pleasure from driving a car.
Main features of the Pirelli P5000 Dragon tire
- special rubber compound with the addition of synthetic polymers and silicon - this increased the traction and adhesion properties;
- the use of patented "WET" tread pattern technology - allowed to achieve a minimal aquaplaning effect, making driving confident and safe on any road surface;
- "progressive stiffness" feature - increased stability, both when driving straight and when cornering.
