Rauffan Astrar R2 185/65 R14 86H

The Rauffan Astrar R2 model is a summer tire from a Chinese manufacturer. It is designed for drivers who do not want to choose between a "sharp steering wheel" and quietness in the cabin.

Tread zones

An asymmetric architecture is used here with a clear functional separation. The tread is divided into three specialized zones:
The central sector is reinforced with longitudinal ribs of minimal flexibility. They are responsible for directional stability on straight roads. The tire holds the lane well and does not require steering correction at highway speeds.
The shoulder zones are massive blocks with optimized stiffness. They generate lateral traction in turns and prevent the reduction of the contact patch during intense maneuvering.
The drainage perimeter is wide radial grooves of variable cross-section. Their geometry is designed for rapid water displacement from under the wheel without losing controllability.

Grip without compromise

The rubber compound is a polymeric matrix with optimized functional oil content. It provides a stable friction coefficient, both on dry abrasive asphalt and on wet smooth pavement. It maintains resistance to abrasive wear due to the uniform distribution of filler.

Acoustic architecture

A special block arrangement is applied. This disrupts sound waves and reduces the perceived noise in the cabin. You get comfort on country roads without an annoying background.

Braking dynamics and economy

A short braking distance is the result of the joint work of the drainage system and the compound. During emergency braking from 80 km/h on a wet surface, the tire demonstrates predictable behavior without skidding. An additional bonus is reduced rolling resistance.

Key features of Rauffan Astrar R2:

- Summer tire for a wide range of passenger cars - from family sedans to station wagons;
- Asymmetrical tread with reinforced longitudinal "ribs" in the center improves directional stability and stability on straight roads under any load;
- Shoulder blocks of a special configuration provide tenacious traction in turns and even wear across the tread width;
- Wide grooves with optimized geometry effectively evacuate water and protect against hydroplaning;
- Optimized rubber compound provides reliable traction on dry and wet pavement without accelerated wear.
