Product description & features
Summer van tyre with asymmetrical tread pattern
Increased mileage potential
Enhanced grip and stability in both wet and dry conditions
Designed to get rid of water quickly and reduce chances of aquaplaning
With an asymmetrical tread pattern, the Van 3 delivers exceptional stability throughout summer weathers – including over wet and dry road conditions. Tomket have designed the tyre with three longitudinal grooves through the middle of the tyre to get rid of water quickly and reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
To increase the tyre’s grip and enhance the response, Tomket have constructed the Van 3 using a special silica enhanced rubber. Alongside this, the durable bead of the Van 3 reduces the risk of mechanical damage to the tire – prolonging the tyres lifetime mileage.
What are summer tyres?
Summer tyres are specifically designed for warm weather conditions, particularly during the summer season. This type of tyre performs best when in seasons with warmer temperatures - above 7°C.
How does a summer tyre perform better in summer?
The technologies and tread patterns used in a summer tyre mean the tyres have high-quality features that are of benefit to driving in warm conditions. They typically use a softer rubber compound – designed for good grip and traction when driving on dry and wet roads.
Can you use summer tyres in winter?
Whilst summer tyres still offer adequate performances in wet and cooler conditions, it is recommended that you change. The tread design and technologies that are featured in summer tyres can harden in colder temperatures, resulting in reduced flexibility and decreased traction on snow and ice.
