01

DIFFERENT KIND OF DRIVERS

Car manufacturers are used to developing new models to answer drivers’ needs. In the same way, tires must be adapted to the specific features of each car in order to respond drivers’ needs and get the best performance in every condition.
02

WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION

Cars are different. They have different weights and specific configurations. For example, different engine positions (front, rear or centre) modify the weight distribution and consequently the tire’s impact on the road and the car dynamics, requiring a dedicated optimization of the tread.
03

SYSTEM AND ELECTRONICS

Control systems, like ABS, EPC and TPMS, are based on original equipment tire characteristics. Indeed, only marked tires can guarantee compliance with the car manufacturer’s requirements, avoiding any possible risk associated with the malfunction of electronic systems. Only a tire with high dimensional accuracy can guarantee the perfect function of all components in the latest vehicle generation (all-wheel drive, hybrid systems, driving aids).
