FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Ultra-precise handling with exceptional stability and control at all speeds
- Technology transfer from motorsports by adapting design components from AZENIS race tyres
- Added safety provided by significantly shorter braking distances in wet and dry conditions
- Enhanced damping comfort and further reduced noise level
- Up to 10% reduced tyre weight
- Optimised rolling resistance for better economy
- Aerodynamic sidewall design with new Nano-Black lettering for a “state of the art” appearance
ARAMID LAYER REINFORCEMENT
PRODUCT FEATURE:
- A new reinforced layer consisting of Aramid material
FUNCTION:
- Components adopted from our successful AZENIS race tyres for ultra-precise handling. Technology transfer from racetrack to road
BENEFIT:
- Stiff and lightweight Aramid reinforcing material improves cornering and high-speed stability
DIAMOND-CUT EDGES AND SILENCING DIMPLES
PRODUCT FEATURE:
- Diamond-cut edges with silencing dimple adapted in all lateral shoulder grooves
FUNCTION:
- Angled edges to improve ground contact; silencing dimples create micro-turbulences to minimise pattern noise
BENEFIT:
- Superb cornering abilities and exceptionally good dry braking. Further reduced noise level
LIGHTWEIGHT CONSTRUCTION
PRODUCT FEATURE:
- New lightweight construction
FUNCTION:
- Optimised shape and design provides up to 10% weight reduction compared to predecessor
BENEFIT:
- Lightweight tyre to conserve resources, reduce undamped mass and improve rolling resistance
TECHNOLOGY HIGHLIGHTS
NANO BLACK – SIDEWALL DESIGN
The innovative process for creating highly detailed deep black logos and design elements on the sidewalls enhances the tyre's striking looks as well as improving the aerodynamics.
ADVANCED 4D-NANO DESIGN
Low rolling resistance, outstanding safety and durability are the three main requirements that car tyres need to fulfil, both today and in the future. To drive progress in this area, the scientists and engineers at Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd. conducted pioneering research into the molecular structure of tyres, using particle accelerators and advanced simulation computers. They succeeded in simulating and controlling the molecular structure of rubber compounds used for tyres at nano level; for example, they analysed where and how superfluous heat was generated in the tyre and how this development could be minimised. Heat means loss of energy for the tyre, and thus rolling resistance – which is ultimately responsible for fuel consumption. Advanced 4D-Nano Design technology is the result of these advanced findings in molecular structures. It enables savings in fuel consumption of up to five per cent to be achieved compared to conventional tyre models, and significantly improves the tyre’s performance in wet conditions.
