PR is an abbreviation of "ply rating". This label originally indicated the number of layers of cotton fishing line in the shell. A large number of bearings means a higher load capacity. When stronger materials were introduced for bearings, this term was removed from the actual number of bearings. Currently, a tire with 8 PR can only have four nylon linear bearings. Today, the stability of a controlled tire is expressed in terms of load capacity and speed capacity, and not in terms of the ply rating.
The Nexen CP321 summer tyre belongs to the high-speed tyre class, characterised by an increased load capacity, which is optimal for use on the wheels of premium vehicles. At the same time, the model can be used for commercial light trucks, demonstrating increased dynamic and high-speed performance. The main characteristics of this tyre model are long service life and high resistance to overloading. Technological tyres Nexen CP321 have a lot of advantages:
High driving and directional stability at any speed, formed by two stiffening ribs with an aggressive structure of tread segments; V-shaped directional tread pattern, which consists of a number of special functional blocks and elements that enhance the vehicle's directional stability and traction, contributing to the tyre's high-speed performance. The ultra-modern drainage system of the treadway of Nexen CP321 car tyres, consisting of symmetrically arranged drainage grooves diverging from the medial sector of the tread to its shoulder zones, guarantees a confident and rapid removal of excess water from under the wheels of the car, which almost completely eliminates the effect of aquaplaning when driving on wet asphalt. Shoulder blocks with increased stiffness guarantee excellent handling in both straight-line driving and cornering. The wide longitudinal channels quickly evacuate water and snow from the contact patch, preventing aquaplaning. The high density of grooves in the tread centre ensures low noise levels, thus increasing driving comfort.
The tyre provides full controllability of the vehicle and guarantees reliability and safety when driving in all climatic/road conditions.
