Summer Performance
Summer tires are capable of securely performing in dry and wet weather conditions. Their tread design and summer tire compound work together to boost the hot temperature performance by enhancing the tire’s traction.
The Ecsta PS31 boosts the driving safety. It combines its tread design and summer tire compound to enhance the dry and wet weather road gripping capability. The tread elements with the micro-grooves and the 3D dimple detail work together to increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface in such situations, while the summer compound helps resists heat build-up along the tread area. The better gripping ability and high heat performance allows the tire to securely perform at high speeds.
The tread design’s unique micro-groove pattern features a diagonal siping detail. This pattern and the circumferential grooves increase the hydroplaning resistance. Hydroplaning happens when water is located on the road surface, which cuts off the tire’s road contact. This makes the tire uncontrollable and it causes the vehicle to skid. This tread pattern channels water away from the footprint and allows the tire to maintain a secure road surface contact, allowing the model to increase the wet weather performance.
Durability and Tread Life
The tread design’s special elements work to enhance the tire’s performance and service life. They ease the driving pressure off the tire to ensure an even wear rate and excellent high speed durability.
The tread’s special 3D dimple pattern and the summer compound decreases the possibility of heat build-up on the tire’s surface during its performance. This eases the extra driving pressure off the tire and prevents unnecessary pressure formations while the tires are in motion. As a result, the tire is able to perform at its greatest high speed capability with ease.
The Ecsta PS31 also extends its usability. The prevention of heat build-up avoids accelerated tread wear rates by slowing the tread wear manner down significantly. The tread design’s wide lateral groove pattern avoids irregular tread wear formations along the tread area, promoting even wear across the tire’s surface. This combination enables the tire to increase the length of the tread life and the model’s service life.
Controllability and Maneuvering
As tires are the only link between the road surface and the vehicle, they must have good controllability. Their optimal road surface contact must boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability to ensure a safer driving experience throughout the tire’s high speed performance.
The Ecsta PS31 features a symmetric directional pattern with a continuous solid center rib that maintains the tire’s road surface contact throughout the drive. The tire’s better road contact significantly improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. In this manner, the driver has full control over the vehicle in summer weather throughout the tire’s high speed drive.
The tread design also helps improve the braking capability. The solid center rib and the middle ribs’ siping detail increase the road contact and enable the tire to create friction at the moment of braking. This friction is generated between the tire and the road surface, which enhances the braking power and decreases the braking distance greatly. The optimal shoulder tread design of the Ecsta PS31 enables the tire to boost the cornering capability. They enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the tire’s maneuvering, which upgrades the cornering capability and ensures a safer performance.
