Rapid P309

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Reduced road noise levels

OVERVIEW

The Rapid P309 is a performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire ensures a comfortable drive. The tread pattern features special silencer grooves on the main ribs which decrease the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. These grooves channel the airwaves through the footprint, without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements, dampening the road noise in the process. In this manner, the tire guarantees a quiet and enjoyable driving experience with the reduced road noise levels.

The model's tread design upgrades its controllability. The tread design's notched continuous center rib keeps the tire's close road contact at all times. The better road contact significantly increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. 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 better control enables the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle in all weather.

The P309 boosts the all weather traction. It combines its symmetric tread pattern and its all weather traction to upgrade the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The tread elements closely follow the road surface and increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, while the compound maintains the tire's flexible traction throughout the year. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, guaranteeing a safer wet and winter weather performance.
