Rapid P609

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Fuel efficient performance
• High speed controllability

OVERVIEW

The Rapid P609 is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes great all weather traction. The detailed siping pattern of the asymmetric tread and the silica-based all season compound increase the tire's grip in dry, wet and winter weather. The silica compound maintains the tire's flexibility in various conditions, including in colder winter weather. The asymmetric tread's upgraded gripping ability enables the tire's grip throughout the year on different road surfaces. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This significantly increases the wet and winter weather driving safety.

The silica-infused tire compound also ensures a fuel efficient drive. The silica increases the year round traction which eases the driving pressure off the tire. In this manner, the model's rolling resistance is significantly lowered. The rolling resistance is the external pressure affecting the tire, which determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The decreased rolling resistance reduces the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, guaranteeing a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly drive.

The P609 is easily controlled throughout the year. The ribbed pattern's maintained road contact boosts the tire's steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The constant road contact upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better control over the tires ensures a safer driving experience as it improves the driver's control over the vehicle even during the high speed performance.
