The Viking Protech 500 summer tire for passenger vehicles is designed for intense use in challenging urban conditions. It is characterized by stability on wet surfaces, effective braking, comfortable handling, and a quiet and smooth ride on uneven roads.
The tread pattern features a directional design with a V-shaped arrangement of some drainage grooves. This guarantees the absence of aquaplaning even at high speeds. In the central part, a continuous longitudinal rib is formed from densely arranged triangular blocks, which reduces rolling resistance, increases trajectory stability during straight-line movement, and provides excellent handling. The numerous edges of the blocks and lamellas allow maintaining high traction and braking forces on wet surfaces.
Key Features of Viking Protech 500
- The V-shaped arrangement of some grooves and the large volume of longitudinal drainage elements minimize the risk of a continuous water film forming in the contact patch;
- The continuous composite rib in the center increases directional stability, reduces fuel consumption, and wear;
- The rigid blocks on the edges of the tread increase stability and handling precision when cornering, preventing uneven wear.
