Starmaxx Novaro ST552 195/55 R16 87H

The all-season tire Starmaxx Novaro ST552 is suitable for most of today's popular compact cars. It is adapted to the specific climatic conditions of the so-called "warm winters" found in Central and Western European countries. It stands out for its increased efficiency on wet and snowy roads, provides ease of handling, and demonstrates a quiet and smooth ride.

The tread pattern is designed in an asymmetric directional design, characterized by small block sizes. This allowed the contact patch to be saturated with very high and long traction edges. Most of them are oriented transversely, which achieves high efficiency in implementing traction effort on snow and reduces the braking distance. On wet roads, these properties are ensured, among other things, by the presence of lamellas. Some of these slots have a Z-shaped form, which further increases the tread's resistance to wear and the smoothness of the ride by giving the blocks slight mobility.

The tire's tread has an optimized profile. The use of multiple radii allows increasing the size of the zone in contact with the road surface. Under the load of the vehicle's weight, it takes on a rectangular shape, which reduces pressure on the road surface. As a result, the traction properties are enhanced and become stable, and the tread wear is significantly slowed down.
