Point S Summerstar Sport 3

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• High speed controllability
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Point S Summerstar Sport 3 is a high performance, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire improves its summer weather traction by using the asymmetric tread design and the summer compound. The asymmetric ribbed tread design and the ideal surface gripping ability increase the dry and wet weather traction, while the durable compound avoids heat build-up along the tread area. The optimal tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water from the footprint, maintaining the surface contact and enhancing the driving safety levels.

The tread's constant surface contact boosts the high speed controllability. The asymmetric ribbed pattern closely follows the road surface at all times, which decreases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This upgrades the handling as the steering becomes faster and more precise, while the structure is stabilized against the pressure. The stiffer footprint manages to shorten the braking distance. These tread elements prevent tread flexing during braking, which enables the tire to shorten the braking distance by generating friction between the tire and the road surface. The stiffened tread elements and the heat resistant compound work together to lower the tire's rolling resistance. In this manner, they allow the tire to securely perform at its greatest high speed capability throughout its performance.

The Summerstar Sport 3 the tread design increases the comfort levels. The optimal tread block stiffness prevents the creation of unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface. As tread flexing is resisted, the tire is able to channel airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. This results in a quiet and comfortable driving experience in versatile terrain surface conditions.
