Excellent grip, high durability and unparalleled comfort, all available in one technologically advanced model — the Minerva F205. This is a product with typical sporty features, which combines excellent driving parameters, with attractive price for the budget class.
In the summer tyres are subject to demanding daily tests. Hot weather, heavy rain and storms are no challenge for the Minerva F205. A number of design solutions make the model smoothly adapted to frequent weather changes.
The modern, asymmetric tread allows you to enjoy full performance of your car regardless of the weather. The modern system of sipes used in the tyre, significantly improves traction on wet roads, reducing the risk of losing control of your vehicle. Wide, stable tread blocks ensure good traction on any surface.
Its modern rubber compound provides the highest travel comfort, retaining all the important factors related directly with safety. Optimal flexibility is helpful in keeping the tyre on track even in the most unfavourable conditions.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
