Travelstar UN-HT701

The silica-based tire compound and the tread pattern work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The silica compound maintains its optimal flexibility in wet and winter conditions as well and provide additional biting edges that firmly grip the road surface in such situations. The tread design's siping detail and tread elements keep the tire close to the road surface and increase its traction. The tire also prevents hydroplaning by improving the water and slush dispersing ability of the four wide circumferential grooves. The better hydroplaning resistance and the excellent all weather traction ensures a secure year round driving experience.

The steering responsiveness and driving stability are increased with the road contact of the solid center rib. The rib keeps the tire's contact with the road surface in all weather and guarantees better controllability with it. It improves the steering responsiveness and its accuracy to the driver's instructions, while also stabilizing the tire's structure against the driving pressure affecting it. The upgraded control allows the driver to confidently control the vehicle in all conditions.

This enables the model to perform to its utmost capability as its structure does not deform under the driving pressure affecting it. The optimized shape ensures that the tire closely follows the road surface. The prevention of deformation and close road contact manage to decrease the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin during the drive. The lower road vibrations levels and optimized tire shape promote a comfortable driving experience.

The rolling resistance is the force affecting the tires during the drive that determines how much energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The lessened rolling resistance reduces the fuel consumption and CO2 emissions greatly, making the tire fuel efficient and environmentally friendly.
