Sportiva Z40

The Sportiva Z40 summer tire belongs to the so-called "rain" tires. It is distinguished by excellent stability on wet pavement, demonstrating reliable coupling properties and no aquaplaning at high speeds.

The tread pattern is notable for the density of the arrangement and the direction of the grooves in the shoulder zones against the direction of movement. In combination with a large number of drainage elements in the central part, this minimizes the risk of a continuous water film forming between the tire and the road surface. The effectiveness of the tread on dry pavement is ensured by the rigidity of the continuous rib in the middle, the blocks at the edges, and the tread profile with variable curvature. All these features increase the contact patch, ensuring even weight distribution of the vehicle on the road surface.

Main features of Sportiva Z40

- excellent resistance to hydroplaning due to the density of the arrangement and the direction of the grooves in the shoulder zones against the direction of movement;
- a rigid rib in the middle ensures stability during straight-line movement and precise handling when changing direction;
- the paired arrangement of blocks at the edges of the tread increases traction and braking intensity on wet pavement.
