The Riken Trail A/P summer tire stands out favorably from most of its numerous analogs not only with its attractive cost, but also with its excellent adaptability to the most unfavorable operating conditions. This model is perfect for use throughout the year, both in summer and winter. At the same time, it demonstrates reliable and stable traction properties on any type of road surface.
Open Tread Design
The tread pattern of this model features a fairly open design with a large number of blocks. Due to their polygonal shape, each of them forms a multitude of differently directed traction edges when contacting the road surface. This allows the tire to demonstrate confident and reliable behavior even in the most unfavorable road conditions.
Five Longitudinal Ribs
All the numerous tread blocks are arranged in such a way that when moving, they form five longitudinal ribs of a continuous structure. Due to this feature, the directional stability is improved, the rolling resistance is reduced, and the likelihood of uneven wear is also reduced.
Wide Shoulder Blocks
In contrast to the central part, the shoulder zones of the tread contain blocks of much larger sizes. At the same time, small bridges connect each two blocks into a single element, which gives this part of the tread pattern even greater stiffness and resistance to dynamic deformation. When driving, such a shoulder zone design allows the tire to demonstrate stability when maneuvering, as well as very stable and reliable traction during acceleration and braking.
Elastic Rubber Compound at Low Temperatures
A significant part of the versatility of this model is ensured by the physical properties of the rubber compound. Due to the increased silica content and the presence of a number of other components, it is able to retain most of its initial elasticity even at very low temperatures. This allows the tire to demonstrate reliable traction on any winter, as well as wet from rain, road surface.
Key Features of the Riken Trail A/P Model
- excellent performance on any type of road surface due to a universal tread pattern with an open symmetric non-directional design;
- five continuous longitudinal ribs improve directional stability, reduce rolling resistance, and prevent uneven wear;
- wide blocks in the shoulder zones, combined in groups, provide excellent stability when maneuvering, improve traction properties when accelerating and braking;
- reliable traction on winter and wet roads due to an elastic rubber compound at low temperatures.
