The Iris Ecoris is a touring, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Iris offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The tire offers excellent summer performance and comfort, due to its silica-enhanced rubber compound. Its tread comes with wide grooves that disperse water from the footprint, ensuring consistent wet traction. The center and shoulder ribs form a flat footprint that maximizes the tire's surface contact. This specific four-rib design greatly boosts its driving stability and steering responsiveness throughout the drive. The tread is specially designed to lower rolling resistance, which is further lowered with the added silica. This reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission. The Ecoris has the ideal siping and rubber blend to minimize road noises by negating sound waves.
Summer Traction
The tread is densely populated with biting edges in the form of sipes, grooves, and notches that improve its summer grip.
Fuel-efficient Drive
A huge benefit of silica is that it lowers the tire's rolling resistance, making it an environmentally friendly choice for the vehicle.
Quiet Performance
The tread has the siping pattern required to minimize road noise levels and offset sound waves, guaranteeing a quiet drive.
Improved Braking
The combination of the high number of biting edges and the premium rubber compound shortens the braking distance.
Superb Handling
While the center ribs stabilize the tire against the asphalt, the shoulder ribs ensure seamless cornering with the biting edges.
Aquaplaning Prevention
The three wide circumferential grooves disperse water from the footprint for consistent traction in wet conditions.
