Tigar Ultra High Performance 215/45 ZR17 87W

The Tigar Ultra High Performance summer tire is designed for the most powerful versions of passenger cars of various classes by Michelin specialists. Its design uses technologies and materials created by the French tire giant, which provided high technical characteristics.

Asymmetric tread design

The tire is equipped with a tread having an asymmetric arrangement of elements, forming several functional areas. The shoulder blocks on the outside provide stability in turns. Two solid longitudinal ribs located next to it give stable behavior during high-speed straight-line driving. The shoulder blocks on the inside provide traction and adhesion properties in the longitudinal direction, i.e., during acceleration and braking.

Increased contact patch size

Another distinctive feature of the tire is the increased contact patch size, provided by a specially selected tread profile configuration. It not only expands the contact surface but also gives it a practically rectangular shape. As a result, not only the grip but also its stability under the influence of lateral acceleration forces has improved.

Effective drainage system

Even at high speeds, the tire demonstrates a low tendency to aquaplaning, ensured by the presence of four very wide longitudinal drainage grooves in the central part. Their performance is further enhanced by the high capacity of transverse channels that drain water beyond the tread.

Key features of the Tigar Ultra High Performance tire

- An asymmetric tread with multiple functional areas improves traction under various driving modes;
- A wide and rectangular contact patch improves handling and resistance to lateral skidding;
- Low risk of aquaplaning at any speed.
