Product description & features
The Rainsport 2’s V-tread pattern efficiently improves water dispersal, but also has a new 3D structure designed to wick the water away, improving grip and resistance to aquaplaning. Braking distances are shortened – on wet and dry roads. In dry conditions, the curved V-shaped tread bars ensure an even pressure distribution with excellent contact with the road.
In the rain, the new rubber compound enables the RainSport 2 to easily key into the road's surface. This tyre also has VAIs (Visual Alignment Indicator) to make sure you spot any uneven wear at an early stage.
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.
