The target audience of the Starmaxx Velox Sport PT741-2 summer tire is car enthusiasts who prefer a dynamic driving style. This model stands out for its excellent efficiency at high speeds, while also providing a good level of acoustic and driving comfort for its category.
The balance of operational properties is largely achieved due to the "hybrid" construction of the breaker. Its steel cord is covered with a layer of nylon fibers on top, which are arranged at a large angle relative to the direction of movement. When winding this cord, a special technology is used that allows avoiding the formation of seams and joints, ensuring a very dense arrangement of fibers. As a result, the tire is given a softer ride, while maintaining high stability of traction and a sporty, precise handling. The asymmetric tread pattern is dominated by large elements, with a double wide rib in the center that guarantees precise handling and directional stability. Numerous transverse lamellas and grooves allow maintaining efficiency during longitudinal accelerations on wet surfaces.
Key features of the Starmaxx Velox Sport PT741-2
- a double longitudinal rib in the middle improves directional stability and reduces rolling resistance;
- wide shoulder blocks increase handling accuracy and reduce braking distance;
- an increased width of longitudinal grooves reduces the risk of aquaplaning;
- a rubber compound with ultra-high silica content improves traction on wet surfaces, increases ride softness, and reduces wear;
- a steel breaker with an additional nylon cord increases driving comfort due to a softer ride and stable traction.
