OVERVIEW
The Insa Turbo Pirineos is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
Insa Turbo tires are made in Spain. They are REMOLDED tires, which is a type of RETREAD. This means that a recycled tire casing went through the remolding process and has received a new life cycle. Remolded tires are the closest to new tires among RETREADED models. However, the tire is still not a new tire, as remolding is a RETREADING method. They do not just get a new tread area glued onto them, they receive a new sidewall and tread area, which is then cured and shaped into the desired tread pattern. These tires are DOT approved and they are guaranteed to last and to perform as well as new tires do. These tires are safer than regular retreaded models and perform as safely and successfully as new tires do. In this manner, Insa Turbo recycles old tires and contributes to lowering their carbon footprint to help save the environment.
The tread design and winter compound promote a safer winter weather performance. The asymmetric tread design's high-density siping pattern and ideal compound work together to boost the grip on the road surface in cold temperature dry, wet and winter weather situations. The tread elements increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint and maintaining a constant surface contact. This combination ensures a safer winter weather driving experience.
The tread design's constant surface contact upgrade the tire's controllability. The asymmetric tread's continuous center rib keeps a close road contact which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread's optimal shoulder tread block placement improves the cornering and maneuvering ability and power. These blocks, with the additional biting edges, boost the grip on the road surface during maneuvering, enhancing the winter weather cornering grip and security. As a result, the tire ensures the driver's full control over the vehicle in such conditions.
The improved winter weather traction provides a fuel efficient drive. The tread and compound work together to increase the traction, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. This enables the tire to lower the rolling resistance, which is the driving pressure affecting the model, that determines the vehicle's sufficient fuel intake. The reduced rolling resistance decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly performing ability.
The Pirineos offers a quiet driving experience. The optimized tread pattern prevents the formation of road noise while the tires are in motion. These tread elements channel the airwaves through the footprint, preventing their contact with the tread elements. As a result, the road and tread pattern noise are not generated and they cannot dampen the passenger's driving enjoyment. This results in the vehicle's high driving comfort levels.
