Superia RS800

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Summer weather traction
• Improved controllability
• Comfortable drive

OVERVIEW

The Superia RS800 is a touring, summer tire manufactured for SUVs.

The tire promotes great summer weather traction. The special tread design divides the tread area into two shoulder and one center area to increase its dry and winter weather road gripping ability. The high-density siping detail provides additional biting edges to grip the road surfaces, while the summer tire compound combats heat build-up. The tread's two large circumferential and numerous smaller angled lateral grooves actively resist hydroplaning by dispersing water from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced summer traction and better hydroplaning resistance work together to boost the driving safety levels.

The optimized tread pattern improves the tire's controllability. The center tread area, with the angled tread blocks, keeps the tire's road contact at all times. This upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability, making the tire faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while stabilizing its structure against the driving pressure affecting it. The shoulder tread design heightens the number of biting edges firmly gripping the road surface during cornering, ensuring a secure maneuvering capability. The tread's high-density siping detail and lateral grooves manage to shorten the braking distance by creating friction at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire ensures a secure performance in summer weather conditions.

The RS800 ensures a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread's constant road contact enables the tire to closely follow the road surface, which absorbs the shock of driving. This lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin and the impact noise. The road and tread pattern noise are further decreased with the tread design that channels the airwaves through the tire's footprint, without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. As the road noise and vibrations are not generated while the tires are in motion, the model guarantees an enjoyable drive.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
