For ultra-powerful, high-performance cars

Kim Adams' Verdict:

'I have driven this tyre on everything from a Porsche 911 to a 350bhp Ford Mustang at tracks as diverse as a soaking handling circuit and the home of the Spanish GP but whatever the conditions it remains mightily impressive. With powerful machines like these you need a progressive tyre that gives plenty of warning when the limit is being approached and the SportContact™2 delivers in both dry and wet inspiring you to use all the performance available.'

The needs and requirements of the driver continue to grow in the direction of a high speed range. Above all, what the sports driver trust most is a tyre with a bigger rim and higher load capacity. Pirelly has especially designed the P Zero Nero tyre for this important consumer group. The P Zero Nero is a tyre designed especially for the soft and hard tunning.
It's special design includes it in the sports category, with more reliability and offering more driving pleasure than many other tyres.

DUNLOP SPORT MAXX RT 2

• Enhanced cornering grip on wet and dry roads
• Increased road feedback and steering precision
• Shorter braking distance, especially at high speeds

FEATURES

Large shoulder blocks deliver enhanced strength and stifness thanks to more rubber-to-road contact, ensuring a better cornering grip.

Ultra stiff breaker cords reduce the diameter and the coating to get them closer to the road and boost steering precision.

Short braking block 2 optimizes geometry leading to increased block rigidity offering a shorter high speed braking distance.

Superior quality tyres with an optimised design that emphasises the following properties:

• Great stability, particularly in curves
• Low noise level
• High comfort level
• High service life

Traction, grip and braking distance are all optimum on both wet and dry roads.
Remarkable resistance to aquaplaning by dispersing water efficiently from the tread.

Asymmetric ultra high performance tyre designed for Europe's top car marques. The Y speed rated KU39's key features are its enhanced performance, braking in wet conditions and controlled ride and refinement.

• High grip tread compound ensures maximum traction and braking performance
• Specially designed casing provides impressive high speed stability

With its asymmetric profile, AS-1 tyres can successfully unite quiet driving, sportiness and safety. The silicone compound in the tread ensures better handling in both wet and dry conditions, reduced rolling resistance and a high mileage. In order to get the better drainage efficiency, two straight vroad grooves are applied on the outside. To enhance the safety on the wet ground, the stream in the middle groove is used to accumulate the water with the assistance of fine sipe bar to divert the eater for safer drive.

To increase cornering force on the outside, the shouleder high rigidity pattern to strengthen cornering force and enhance the steering ability. Unique straight grooves on the shoulder make the whole tread more rigid and prevent it from irregular wear. The evenly thin sipes reduce the road impact and enhance the comfort when driving. In order to get the best silent features, the tread pattern is using two-in-one and multi-pitch design.

The two central grooves of the NS-2, along with the v-shaped tread of the tyre, improve the drainage of water on the tyre surface and hence reduce the risk aquaplaning.

When dry, the v-shaped tread ribs ensure a uniform pressure distribution so that the entire contact surface of the tyre can be used for power transmission.

Computer similated V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning at high speed running through deep water.

Two-in-one pitches and variable width tread profile help to reduce pattern noise and provide a quieter comfort.

Shoulder edge sipes ensure even and prolonged tread wear.

The top performer around bends

For compact- and middle-class, sporty cars and MPVs.

The new Altimax Sport guarantees precise steering response and safe driving on curvy and also on wet roads. Furthermore the modern silica tread compound bridges the gap between the target conflict wet performance and rolling resistance.

• Born in the USA, General Tire offers products for all types of vehicles, for all seasons and all terrains
• Shorter braking distance
• Precise steering response and safe driving on curvy roads
• Low fuel consumption and high mileage
• Fits perfectly for example to VW Golf, BMW 3 Series and Ford S-Max

Precise steering response and safe driving on curvy roads. Outer shoulder blocks give the tyre lateral rigidity and optimum stability. The steering response is always precise – for safe driving even on winding roads.

Shorter braking distances on wet roads. Wide grooves running around the circumference and open shoulder blocks quickly displace water from the tyre contact area. This shortens the stopping distance.

Low fuel consumption and high mileage. In order to achieve both good performance in wet conditions and low rolling resistance, the innovative silica compound ensures minimal deformation and optimum hysteresis. This decreases fuel consumption and increases mileage.

VAI - Visual Alignment Indicator signals incorrect alignment. Over the first 1,000 kilometres, Visual Alignment Indicator technology (VAI) signals to the driver if the tread is not wearing evenly due to incorrect alignment. This significantly increases the service life of the tyre.

RTM - Replacement Tire Monitor for greater safety. RTM technology tells the driver in good time when a tyre change is due, which increases safety.

The two central grooves of the NS-2, along with the v-shaped tread of the tyre, improve the drainage of water on the tyre surface and hence reduce the risk aquaplaning.

When dry, the v-shaped tread ribs ensure a uniform pressure distribution so that the entire contact surface of the tyre can be used for power transmission.

Computer similated V-shaped drainage sub-grooves increase resistance to hydroplaning at high speed running through deep water.

Two-in-one pitches and variable width tread profile help to reduce pattern noise and provide a quieter comfort.

Shoulder edge sipes ensure even and prolonged tread wear.
