Roadstone N8000 235/50 R18 101W XL

The summer tire Roadstone N8000 is an exact copy of the same-name model from the South Korean company Nexen. Along with the name, it inherited all its strong points, of which there are many, considering the "original" belongs to the Ultra High Performance category. This model is perfectly adapted for operation on the most powerful modifications of modern passenger cars. At the same time, the development of uncompromising sports handling was given much more attention than comfort, although a lot was done for it as well.

Optimized design of shoulder areas

Despite the asymmetric design of the tread, its shoulder areas, both from the inside and outside, perform a similar set of tasks. The main one is to ensure maximum stability and traction in turns. It is for this reason that the shoulder areas have a closed design. They contain many transverse blocks connected to each other by narrow bridges. This allows them to work "together", evenly distributing the load between them.

Excellent handling at any speed

The central part of the asymmetric tread of this model is also distinguished by a closed design. Here are three solid ribs, the rigid structure of which improves directional stability, and also gives the tire's reactions ultimate speed and accuracy. In addition, such a design significantly reduces rolling resistance and prevents uneven wear.

Acoustic comfort and resistance to aquaplaning

Between all the tread ribs, there are longitudinal drainage grooves, which are only slightly inferior to them in width. The significant internal volume of these tread elements gives the tire excellent resistance to aquaplaning. Another feature of the longitudinal drainage grooves is the presence of numerous curved notches. They not only accelerate the removal of water from the contact patch but also reduce the noise level. In this regard, it is also worth noting the multi-step arrangement of the shoulder area blocks, as well as the sound-insulating properties of the bridges that connect them. They significantly improve the acoustic comfort during movement.

Main features of Roadstone N8000

- optimized design of shoulder areas of the tread improves traction in turns, reduces braking distance, and reduces noise level;
- excellent handling at any speed due to the rigid solid structure of all central tread ribs;
- reliable behavior in rainy conditions due to the excellent performance of longitudinal drainage grooves.
