Gislaved Ultra Speed

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• High speed controllability
• Longer lasting tread life
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Gislaved Ultra Speed is a performance and high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes excellent summer weather traction. It combines the summer compound and the asymmetric tread design to increase the dry and wet grip on the road surface. The tread design's asymmetric pattern and the optimal groove and siping placement enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface at all times. On the other hand, the summer compound keeps the rubber flexibility and prevents heat build-up along the tread area. This ensures a secure high speed and high heat performance in summer weather. The tread's circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They channel water from the footprint, maintaining the tire's surface contact at all times, further boosting the wet weather driving safety levels.

The model increases the tread life length with the ideal tread pattern and the durable compound. These elements ensure the tire's even and slow tread wear rate, guaranteeing a lengthened usability. The compound avoids heat build-up along the tread area, minimizing the tread wear rate in the process. The asymmetric tread's ideal surface contact evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces resist irregular wear formations, elongating the usability and tread life significantly.

The optimal tread pattern enhances the high speed controllability throughout the tire's performance. The flat footprint closely follows the road surface at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the model's structure is secured against the driving pressure, while the steering is faster and more precise in its response to the driver's instruction. The shoulder block pattern increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering with extra biting edges, which allows the tire to enhance the cornering capability. The tire's prevention of heat build-up optimizes the driving pressure affecting it during the high speed performance, enabling its best high speed performing capability.

The Ultra Speed also promotes a comfortable drive. The asymmetric tread design features a multi-pitch variation. The variable pitch design manages to lower the road noise levels heard during the drive. The tread creates a special sound frequency which negates the road and tread pattern noise heard while the tires are in motion. This frequency cancels the soundwaves before they reach the vehicle's cabin and ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment. As a result, the tire provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
