Key Features and Benefits:
- Sports Performance: The PS71 is designed for a refined driving experience with responsive handling and braking.
- Wet and Dry Performance: The tire’s tread design and compound technology aim to provide excellent grip and handling on both wet and dry surfaces.
- High Dispersion Silica: The compound maximizes wear, handling, and fuel efficiency.
- Reinforced Casing: A hybrid cap ply made of steel belts strengthens the tire’s structure for added durability.
- Sidewall Reinforcement: A fabric insert in the sidewall enhances rigidity.
- Asymmetrical Tread: The asymmetrical tread pattern combines different tread designs on the inner and outer edges to optimize performance on both wet and dry roads.
- High Aquaplaning Resistance: The tire’s tread design is engineered to resist aquaplaning, maintaining grip on wet surfaces.
Potential Considerations:
- Dry Road Performance:Some reviews suggest that while the tire performs well in wet conditions, it may lack some feedback and precision on dry roads.
- Mileage:Some reviews indicate that the tire’s projected mileage and abrasion resistance may be average.
