The Toyo NanoEnergy 3 summer tire is one of the latest innovations in the Japanese tire industry. This model is distinguished by its excellent fuel efficiency and very long service life. The size range includes several dozen types for wheels with a mounting diameter of 13 to 15 inches. This allows us to confidently assert that the main target audience for this model is the owners of small compact cars.
Main features of the tread pattern
The tread pattern of this tire is characterized by a reduced number of tread elements. This is one of the consequences of the fact that during its development, the main attention was paid to ensuring minimal rolling resistance. That's why the tread of this model contains only four longitudinal ribs.
Excellent resistance to aquaplaning
The drainage system of this tire is one of its distinctive features. Its main structural elements are three longitudinal grooves connected by a multitude of transverse channels. They are distinguished by their large size, which allows them to accommodate a significant volume of water, which is then quickly discharged outside the tread pattern. Thanks to this, the tire demonstrates excellent resistance to aquaplaning even at high speeds.
Excellent traction properties on wet asphalt
Each of the four longitudinal ribs contains a multitude of transverse edges. In addition, the surface of the blocks in the shoulder zones has special recesses that provide additional traction with the wet road during movement.
Reduced noise level
In addition to rolling resistance, when developing the Toyo NanoEnergy 3 tire, Japanese specialists paid much attention to driving comfort, primarily acoustic. This was achieved through the scheme of arrangement of all tread elements, as well as the presence of special recesses on the walls of the longitudinal drainage grooves. They significantly reduce the noise level from the air flow passing through the drainage grooves during movement. These tread elements demonstrate maximum efficiency at high speeds.
Updated rubber compound composition
One of the innovations of the NanoEnergy 3 model was the rubber compound, the composition of which has undergone significant changes compared to its predecessors. First of all, it is worth noting the appearance of a super-active polymeric compound of a new generation. With its help, it was possible to significantly increase the resistance of the tread pattern to abrasive effects, as well as reduce rolling resistance.
It is also worth noting the presence in the composition of the rubber compound of silicon-containing components, which most car owners know as silica. This substance provides additional traction on wet surfaces, as well as resistance to abrasive wear.
Main features of the Toyo NanoEnergy 3 tire
- symmetrical tread pattern optimized for movement on dry and wet roads;
- reduced number of tread elements reduces rolling resistance;
- excellent traction properties in the longitudinal direction due to the presence of many transverse edges formed by numerous tread blocks;
- optimized distribution of external pressure on the contact patch provides increased resistance to uneven wear, achieved by a more even distribution of external weight on the contact patch;
- improved rubber compound contains polymeric compounds of a new generation, as well as silica, which provide increased traction with wet roads and a longer service life.
