Designed for passenger cars, the Grenlander Estrella 88 is a summer touring tyre that combines reduced noise, good grip and mileage potential. Its tread pattern and silica-enriched compound are designed to deliver controlled handling on both dry roads and in the rain.
- Outer shoulder blocks: their width, combined with closely spaced grooves, promotes a larger contact patch when cornering in order to improve grip and steering precision.
- Main grooves: the numerous straight grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact area, which limits aquaplaning and enhances traction on wet roads.
- Inner diagonal grooves: positioned on the inner section, they help with drainage and support grip on wet surfaces when conditions become more demanding.
- Sipes and lateral grooves with uniform depth: this design increases tread rigidity and therefore helps to extend mileage.
- Optimised variable pitch tread blocks: defined by computer simulation, they reduce rolling noise for a quieter and more pleasant journey.
- Silica rubber compound: it helps to strengthen grip on wet or slippery roads while reducing rolling resistance, resulting in greater safety and lower fuel consumption.
The Estrella 88 therefore meets the everyday needs of passenger cars by focusing on cornering stability, wet-road performance, acoustic comfort, longevity and energy efficiency.
