Discover the Taurus Ultra High Performance Tire: 205/55 R19 97V XL
Exceptional Wet and Dry Performance
The Taurus Ultra High Performance tire is engineered for those who demand the best in both wet and dry conditions. Featuring an asymmetric tread design, this tire excels in wet weather with its longitudinal and lateral channels that efficiently channel water away, providing outstanding traction on wet roads. On dry surfaces, the large tread blocks on the outer section ensure excellent grip and enhanced performance, allowing you to drive with confidence.
Extended Tire Lifespan
This tire is designed with longevity in mind. The architecture of the tire has been optimized to ensure an even contact patch, which not only enhances performance but also prolongs the life of the tire. This means you can enjoy the benefits of high performance for a longer time.
Fuel Efficiency and Eco-Friendly
Thanks to the innovative silica compound used in the tread design, the Taurus Ultra High Performance tire offers reduced rolling resistance. This not only contributes to lower fuel consumption but also makes it a more environmentally friendly choice. Enjoy a smooth and economical driving experience without compromising on performance.
Perfect for Passenger Cars
Designed specifically for passenger cars, this tire is ideal for drivers who seek a balance of performance, durability, and efficiency. Whether you're navigating city streets or cruising on the highway, the Taurus Ultra High Performance tire is your reliable companion for every journey.

TYRE LIFE IMPROVEMENT BY:
Optimisation of tire architecture
Optimised contact path
REDUCED FUEL CONSUMPTION:
Due to optimised rolling resistance with using SILICA compound in the tread pattern
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.
