Description
Asymmetrical
High comfort demands combined with attractive performance characteristics were achieved during the development of the Prime³ by optimising a series of components. Thus, for example, the lightweight yet sturdy carcass makes safe handling of the premium tyre possible even with a sporty driving style, while the high-grip silica compound means excellent results in terms of wet grip for the EU label
Four circumferential grooves have been used in the tyre’s tread pattern – these work to quickly remove surface water from the tyre’s path – reducing the risk of the car aquaplaning. The Ventus Prime 3 is developed with an asymmetric tyre tread pattern for a 10% increase in the amount of contact between the tyre and the road.
Constructing the tyre with dual stiffness along the outer ribs of the tyre and introducing a solid outside block the Ventus Prime 3 remains stable at high speeds and in corners.
High grip silica compound - Improved dry / wet traction and lower rolling resistance.
Jointless full cover reinforcement belt - Ideal tread strength.
Wide steel belt layer - Better dry and wet handling.
Equilibrium rayon carcass line - Enhance sidewall stiffness and durability.
High stiffness bead filler - Better handling and steering response.
Strong single strand bead wire - Improved uniformity and tyre fitting.
