Optimized tread design and block sequence reduce rolling noise level. Self-cleaning ribs at the groove bottom enhances mud and water evacuation. 3D lateral groove design helps to reduce early tire deformation. The outer tread balanced hardness enhances straigh and cornering control and great performance.

Thanks to the best technology Passion Run Flat tires allows to continue driving after a punctured tyre.
FEATURES, FUNCTION AND ADVANTAGES FOR THE USER
PASSION RFT is the Membat pattern for Run Flat tyres. It has been developed for drivers looking for an extra element of safety and convenience. Membat Run Flat tires feature reinforced sidewalls along with wider tire beads manufactured with a specific tire compound.
REINFORCED SIDEWALL
The PASSION RFT advanced rubber compound and tire cord are stronger than the ones in a regular tire sidewall, enabling it to support the vehicle’s weight with no air. Therefore, a sudden deflation results in less weight transfer and allows the driver to retain control of steering and normalize the handling.
HEAT-RESISTANT TIRE BEAD COMPOUND
The Run Flat tire compound resists heat build-up under zero pressure driving conditions. In enables driving an extended distance until the tire can be replaced*.
WIDE TIRE BEAD
A wide Run Flat tire bead firmly holds the tire on the wheel flange, avoiding tire bead separation from the wheel.
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.
