The Rockblade ROCK 717 H/T summer tire belongs to the "highway" tires for SUVs and crossovers, being designed for use predominantly on asphalt roads. It is characterized by "light" handling and stability at high speeds, reduced rolling resistance, quiet and soft ride.
The tread pattern is distinguished by a dense arrangement of lamellas for summer tires. Numerous slits located at different angles improve traction properties on wet pavement, along with grooves that intensively drain water from under the contact patch. Another feature of the pattern is the stepwise arrangement of elements. This increases the useful area of the tread, improving grip and handling, as well as slowing down the process of abrasive wear of the tire.
Key features of Rockblade ROCK 717 H/T
- increased density of lamella notching provides more reliable handling on wet pavement;
- the arrangement of tread elements with a certain step increases the contact patch, improving grip and handling, preventing tire wear, reducing noise and vibration;
- a trapezoidal profile of the shoulder zones increases the accuracy of handling and stability in turns, prevents uneven wear of the tread
