Velocity tyres shown from left to right; Raptor Van 2, Speed Max and the Reacta
Velocity tyres are engineered in Germany, where designers bring their wealth of experience to develop the perfect tread patterns that include Tiger Wheel & Tyre’s three non-negotiable characteristics – safety, performance, and durability. If “clothes maketh the man”, then “treads maketh the tyre”. More than just aesthetics, tyre tread patterns determine the handling and longevity of the tyre.
Velocity’s passenger car tyre, the Reacta, features a tread design that has an asymmetric pattern with stable circumferential ribs that deliver good steering response and increased safety on both wet and dry roads. A closed outside shoulder and intermediate rib help reduce tyre noise and increase driver comfort, while the optimum sipe design in the tread block yields higher mileage and increased efficiency.
It’s all in the name with Velocity’s Speed Max. The tyre’s tread is designed with stiff blocks and ribs to shorten braking distances on dry roads, while improving handling. Its tread pattern is further optimised to yield even wear and thus improve longevity, while its closed outside shoulder delivers high driving comfort and low tyre noise.
The Raptor Van 2 tyre is purpose-built for light commercial vehicles. The cut and chip design of the limited number of sipes on its tread pattern reduce the risk of cuts and give the tyre greater durability. Three wide circumferential grooves, and optimised sipes and block edges work to improve the tyre’s handling in the wet, reduce the risk of aquaplaning and improve braking performance. The overall mileage-optimised tread pattern design affords the high mileage that commercial drivers seek.
