The rapid development of the Chinese tire industry can be judged by such tires as the WestLake Sport RS. This model is designed for fans of fast driving, including on closed racing tracks, which on certain days become available to all comers. At the same time, this tire is quite well adapted for operation on ordinary roads, where it demonstrates more than confident behavior.
Increased contact patch size
This tire is equipped with a tread that looks more than aggressive. This impression is created due to the large number of very massive blocks separated by drainage grooves of no less impressive size. This solution was dictated by the desire to provide the tire with several important qualities at once. First of all, these are the maximum possible sizes of its contact patch. In addition, massive blocks very well resist continuous deformation, retaining their original shape. As a result, the coupling properties are distinguished by very high stability and reliability.
Optimized for high speeds rubber compound
A special composition of the tread rubber compound was developed for this model. More than half of it is represented by silicon-containing elements. They give the tire the ability to adhere very closely to the road surface, thereby improving its grip.
Main features of WestLake Sport RS
- asymmetric tread with very large blocks provides excellent grip at any speed;
- silicon-containing compound with special polymers is optimized for high-speed operation and sharp maneuvers;
- continuous wide longitudinal rib in the center gives the tire stability at high speed.
