Construction tires Goodyear Ultra Grip 7 + little changed compared with its predecessor Goodyear Ultra Grip 6.
Doubleprotection cut deep grooves. Their aim is designed to better resist to aquaplanation, improve the manageability and coupling properties in the snow. V-shaped cross-section of grooves and lots of side slits should effectively give water from the contact spot even at high speed. These properties, according to the manufacturer, persist even on bus.
To reduce noise, vibration and wear a uniform left and right parts of the grooves shifted to one another. This also serves the purposes draughts alternating blocks of different sizes. Between the carcass and tread added rigid framework to improve the manageability on asphalt. Moreover, modernized composition of rubber. Updated mixture retains elasticity in the cold, provides high-performance tyres at low temperatures, improves Coupling properties on the wet road. Air pressure monitoring system driven.
Lamellas One of the main features of the new tires - slat three-dimensional (3D BIS), resembling inserted in one another pyramid. When small shear force for the road surface clinging many elastic and mobile edges, thereby improving coupling properties tires. But with increasing force, when traditional slat usually make up the new, pinching each other, are blocked, turning pieces almost monolithic. This solution improves Coupling properties on the ice and wet road. Moreover, with such a tyre slat noise less than traditional.
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
