Tyre tread MP 85 Hectorra 4x4 SUV UHP - A new high-speed summer asymmetric tread for SUVE vehicles - for the most demanding tyre segment – ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE. The asymmetric design of the tread offers optimal maneuverability and safety on wet and dry surface. The tyre is designed for SUV vehicles, for fast and safe drive in UHP segment with 100% paved/0% unpaved rating.
Road Ultra High Performance SUV tyre
Comfort and safety even at high speeds
Asymmetrical design of tread
Excellent handling and steering precision on dry and wet road surface
Modern design and innovative features to increase safety – “safety info”.
Outer section of the tread
wider tread blocks with narrow cross grooves improve safety in turns, especially in sporty drive conditions
Inner section of the tread
narrow tread blocks in combination with wider cross grooves with positive impact on performance and safety on wet road surface
Straight circumferential grooves
wide straight circumferential grooves enable quick removal of water from tread = maximum resistance to aquaplaning, excellent directional stability and maneuvering
different angles of the outer circumferential groove walls are designed to improve the rigidity of the tread thus increasing stability in all situations
System of lamellas
additional splitting of individual segments ensuring silent and comfortable drive
Full circumferential strip
greatly increasing the directional stability and its position in the outer zone increases the safety in turns
Enclosed shoulder blocks
enclosed shoulder blocks reinforce the shoulder part with positive impact on maneuverability = excellent stability in turns, dynamic driving properties, excellent handling
prevent turbulent streaming of water in circumferential grooves
Safety info
STOP indicator informing the driver about approaching end of tyre life
safety wear indicator, 3x circumferential indicator of the groove depth, informing the driver on current condition of the tyre tread, warning the driver to adjust the driving style to the condition of the tyre tread
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
