Safety

Maximum wet braking while improving mileage due to Safety Silica Compounds.
The crystal silica composition enables superior braking performance especially in terms of wet road conditions. While keeping the safety performance at the maximum level, the mileage improved significantly – a solved conflict in tyre development.

Comfort

Extended driving convenience updated by the comfort-optimised performance footprint.
The wear-optimised polymer blend provides an outstanding improvement of more than 15% in mileage performance. In addition, the smooth pattern stiffness improves driving comfort and mileage, and lowers the exterior noise.

Handling

Sporty driving in every car thanks to handling-optimised pattern design.
The advanced macro-block design ensures maximum control and cornering stability. Furthermore, the asymmetric rib geometry provides a better grip under the effect of lateral forces.

Michelin Primacy 3

Advantages:

• Excellent on wet braking
• Good performance on dry bracking

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 Dueler H/P Sport tyre lives up to the high performance standards of your premium Sport Truck or SUV.

The non-vent design and aggressive look of the sidewall fit the sleek lines of these imposing vehicles. In fact, the Dueler H/P Sport tyre is an Original Equipment choice in the category. Expect the tops in wet performance with a power traction combination of UNI-T technology and high silica content to let you drive with confidence in changing road conditions.

Stable, precise, and quiet

Retains its accurate driving properties in high speed driving

Excellent safety on wet roads

The sporty Nokian zLine is a professional in demanding driving conditions, thanks to its new generation of tread compound, nanotechnology layered structure, and tread pattern developed for fast driving.

It immediately responds to steering, which is an essential requirement for safe operation at extreme limits.

The new Nokian Intelligent UHP Silica: lower heat generation, better wet grip

The Nokian Intelligent UHP Silica tread compound developed for Nokian zLine was specially tailored for demanding use at higher speeds. The new UHP tread compound was refined to have extremely low heat generation, maximising the available mileage and ensuring good structural integrity.

The rubber compound works ideally along a wide temperature range, thereby improving wet grip that drivers will truly appreciate. The feel of the road is perfect and provides no surprises under any conditions.

Tread pattern supports optimal handling

The new, modern tread shape of the Nokian zLine perfectly supports the precise driving feel of this high-performance tyre. As in the other Nokian summer tyres designed for fast driving, the tread is of an asymmetrical inside-outside pattern.

The rigid inside and outside shoulder area connects with block patterns that are bound together by longitudinal ribs. The wide, massive ribs stiffen the tyre and reduce the movement of the pattern blocks during road contact.

The longitudinal ribs next to the inner shoulder are dominated by deep lateral grooves that stabilise handling. At the same time, this new Hydro Grooves innovation effectively prevents aquaplaning by storing water from between the surface and the tyre, and by guiding the water into the longitudinal grooves. The innovation ensures a safe driving feel, even in the rain.

To combat aquaplaning, separate Swoop Grooves were also shaped in the transversal main grooves on the outer shoulder.

More driving comfort and durability

The semi-circular indentations, reminiscent of a golf ball, on the walls of the transversal grooves provide additional driving comfort for the Nokian zLine.

This Silent Groove Design innovation reduces the interior noise and external rolling noise of the vehicle.

Even motorists who are used to higher speeds can rely on the Nokian zLine for years of service, even as the tyre gets older and wears down. The extremely stiff steel belt pack, designed for fast Central European roads and combined with a double body structure, is made of high-strength steel wire.

The tough, durable Nokian zLine is sure to work well even on poor road sections. A new rim guard provides additional protection for the edge of the rim.

The effect is smoother transitions from straight to corner, leading to more precise and progressive reactions.Benefits Significantly better control over the evolution of the footprint in all driving conditions; responsive wet and dry handling; increased cornering control.

Foam-in-Tyre Technology (FIT)

Car interior noise has 3 main causes:

Wind noise (created by air-flow at high speed)

Engine noise

Tyre noise:

Tread/block road rumble. “Airpumping” also known as “groove resonance” , where the grooves are compressed and then released again. (Structural) Vibrations of the tyre/carcass.

Foamin Tyre(FIT)
Tyre noise

'Why Foam-in-Tyre?'

Tyre noise is mainly transmitted by:

• Airborne noise: Noise waves transmitted through air
• Body noise: Transmission by vehicle suspension

One of the biggest noise sources, is the so-called Cavity Resonance which is transmitted into the car as body noise because of the axle construction.

Foamin Tyre (FIT)
Technology

'How does Foamin Tyre work'

Technology:

Once the tyre has been heated, a foam strip is fitted to the inner liner. This reduces tyre (carcass) noise considerably.

Principle of operation:

• Elimination of resonance peaks.

Effect:

• Reduction of interior car noise by a number of dB, to half of the tyre noise.

Advantages:

• Relatively cost efficient
• Stable through the full life of the tyre
• Light enough not to influence running performance, roll resistance or high speed efficiency
• Currently available in Summer and Winter, also as All Season and ROF later.
• Can be repaired

Effect of the tyre on noise perception

Sounds are transmitted by 2 main mechanisms: By air movement (Air resonance): The air molecules are stimulated to vibrate (wave form).

By structural resonance (Body resonance): Vibrations are transmitted by the vehicle structure.

A large part of inerior car noise is due to resonance caused by vibration of the tyres. This is transmitted to the inside of the car via the structure (body resonance). Counter measures taken at noise source, in this case, at the tyre, are easier and more effective than they would be at other car components, e.g. at the drive train or the body.

The solution

How can the vibrations in the tyres be reduced?
Fitting a foam strip to the inner liner of the tyre helps to markedly reduce the tyre (carcass) noise. Reduced resonance in peak range by up to 11dB(A) This makes a reduction of interior car noise of up to 3 - 4dB(A), possible. This means that it is only half as loud in the car as it would have been with normal tyres.

Star Performer SPTS AS

The Star Performer SPTS AS is the successor to the AS and has been improved compared to the predecessor model. So the tyres should satisfy the different weather conditions.
