What are asymmetric tyres?

Asymmetric tyres are designed with different tread patterns on the inner and outer sections of the tyre, each serving a specific purpose.

The inner tread is optimised for water dispersion, helping to improve wet grip and reduce the risk of aquaplaning.

The outer tread is built for stability, providing better traction and cornering performance in dry conditions.

This dual design makes asymmetric tyres a popular choice for high-performance and premium vehicles, as they offer a balance of wet and dry handling.

Unlike directional tyres, they don’t have a specific rolling direction but must be mounted correctly, with outer and inner markings on the sidewall ensuring the right fitment.

Asymmetric tyres are ideal for drivers looking for all-around performance, improved cornering, and enhanced safety in various road conditions.
