The Silverstone Synergy M5 summer tire is the flagship model of the so-called "energy-efficient" line recently introduced by Malaysia's leading tire manufacturer. It is distinguished by a very long service life and low rolling resistance, which was achieved through the widespread use of modern technologies. In addition, it is impossible not to note the extremely attractive cost for a high-tech product.
Excellent fuel efficiency ratings
In developing this model, the company's specialists paid special attention to ensuring the lowest possible fuel consumption rates without compromising other equally important operational characteristics. To achieve this ambitious and technically complex goal, they took a number of measures that affected almost all the main components of the tire.
Steel breaker layer
One of the innovations of the Silverstone Synergy M5 was the breaker layer, which, like the cord, was made from steel wire. This made it very rigid and, at the same time, highly resistant to dynamic deformation that occurs during movement. The same capabilities also appeared in the tread layer, as a result of which it acquired much lower rolling resistance.
Optimized sidewall profile
In addition, also with the aim of increasing resistance to dynamic deformation, the specialists of the Malaysian company significantly strengthened the sidewalls of the tire, making them more rigid over a significant distance from the wheel rim.
Special rubber compound
The distinctive feature of the rubber compound used in this tire is the presence of special components in its composition, which significantly reduced hysteresis losses. This made it possible to substantially reduce rolling resistance, bringing fuel efficiency ratings to their maximum values.
Key features of the Silverstone Synergy M5 tire
- excellent fuel efficiency ratings, achieved through a number of design features of the tire;
- high resistance to dynamic deformation of the carcass and sidewalls, as well as a low level of hysteresis losses, achieved through the use of a rubber compound, provide very low rolling resistance;
- the optimized design of the symmetrical non-directional tread pattern allows for confident movement on both dry and wet roads.
