Technology description: Rapid P609 is an economy summer tyre. It is intended for high-performance passenger cars used on daily drives in the city and on long routes. It will satisfy the drivers who try to obtain a fine balance between quality and price. It provides driving comfort and safety even during dynamic drives.
Rapid P609 has an asymmetric tread pattern, which allows the maintenance of good performance on any surface and in any weather conditions. A reduced risk of aquaplaning and good grip on corners are due to the lateral notches. The use of notches on the central rib translates into a better grip when accelerating or driving on a straight road.
P609 is made of a rubber compound with the addition of silica. This allowed for a reduction in the tyre's weight and rolling resistance. The result is lower fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
Rapid P609 was designed to ensure driving confidence and good behaviour in any conditions. This is why the tread is covered with a system of grooves and sipes responsible to improve traction on different surfaces, from dry roads to loose and contaminated surfaces.
The adequate structure of grooves and notches makes not only for a better grip but also higher travelling comfort. They help to dampen vibration, reducing the noise generated by the tyre.
