Product description & features
The Ultrac Pro's design ensures a relaxed, smooth ride with enhanced safety features. Including shorter braking distances on both dry and wet roads. Additionally, the Ultrac Pro provides efficient fuel and battery consumption, making it a top choice for performance and economy.
Key innovations include a re-engineered bead construction for 9% better limit handling and an 8% improvement in ride comfort due to a larger flex-zone in the sidewall.
The new-generation traction compound and more-oval footprint upgrade its Wet Grip label class, while the lightweight construction improves rolling resistance.
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.
