ZX The “X” evolution

Radial technology. The benefits of the radial tyre compared with the standard tyre were visible in all areas:

• greater safety (enhanced road-holding, more grip, shorter braking distances)
• economical to use (significantly increase mileage and reduced fuel consumption)
• increased comfort thanks to sidewall flexibility
