Designed to combine protection, directional stability and comfort on dry or wet roads, the Kpatos FM518 features four straight longitudinal grooves complemented by slightly curved sipes. This configuration speeds up water dispersal, reduces aquaplaning and makes driving in the rain safer.
The perfectly straight central rib enhances directional stability and ensures precise steering response. Next to it, the second rib made up of alternating blocks increases the tread’s rigidity, delivering high stability even at high speed.
Its wide shoulders, featuring a variable block arrangement, provide optimal cornering control and reliable handling. The semi-longitudinal grooves on these shoulders further improve manoeuvrability, particularly on wet surfaces.
Finally, the micro-sipes built into the tread enhance grip and traction, ensuring balanced performance in all weather conditions. Thanks to this combination of technologies, the Kpatos FM518 offers a versatile solution for drivers seeking safety, stability and comfort throughout the year.
