Presa PI14 Review

Table of Contents

Versatile winter tires are available for sale on the tire market. Studless models have been becoming more popular in recent years, as they provide excellent winter weather traction, without additional studs.

Once such tire is the Presa PI14, which we offer for sale at Priority Tire. This tire combines traction, performance and comfort to ensure an exceptional driving experience. It guarantees high winter weather traction, great controllability and even a high driving comfort level during its performance to provide a unique and safe drive.

Winter Weather Traction

Winter tires offer exceptional winter weather traction in versatile temperatures. Their tread design and winter compound enhance the grip on the road surface to boost the ice and snow traction and performance safety.

The Presa PI14 increases the winter weather traction with the detailed directional pattern and the winter compound. The computer-designed symmetric tread design sports a high-density 3D siping pattern which boosts the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion. These sipes enhance the tire’s grip on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions to improve the cold temperature performance. The durable compound, on the other hand, upgrades the rubber flexibility in versatile conditions, keeping the tire pliable in severe winter situations.

The tread design also helps prevent hydroplaning. The tread pattern’s circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the tire’s surface contact throughout its performance. In this manner, the tire actively avoids hydroplaning and improves the wet and winter weather traction. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard, which causes the vehicle to skid as water and slush located on the road surface cuts off the tire’s surface contact. By preventing hydroplaning, the tire ensures a safer driving experience.

Controllability and Maneuvering

Tires utilize their road contact to improve the vehicle’s controllability. They are only part that comes in contact with the road surface, and as such, they determine the vehicle’s controllability.

The PI14 upgrades its controllability with the directional tread design. The tread features a continuous center rib, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The constant surface contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s instructions, while it also secures the structural stability throughout the model’s performance. The tread design’s larger shoulder tread block placement heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the model’s maneuvering. It keeps the tire’s safer cornering ability by enhancing its grip on the road surface throughout the drive.

The directional tread design features a high-density siping pattern which enhances the braking power. These sipes create friction at the moment of braking, greatly reducing the tire’s braking distance. As a result, the tire upgrades the stopping ability, promoting a safer driving experience.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Touring tires offer excellent comfort levels throughout their performance. These tread elements improve the road noise and vibration levels in the vehicle’s cabin by utilizing various manufacturing techniques. In this manner, they are able to offer a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

The PI14 uses its tread design and tire compound to lower the road disturbances in the vehicle’s cabin. The tread pattern’s optimized design lessens the road and tread pattern noise heard by the passengers. This pattern manages to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. As a result, the tire does not allow road and tread pattern noise formations, actively avoiding road noise from being heard in the vehicle’s cabin during the drive.

The tread compound, on the other hand, reduces the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The softer tire compound manages to absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. This significantly lowers the road vibrations felt by the passengers. As the road noise and vibrations cannot dampen the passengers’ driving enjoyment, the tire enables a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
