Improved protection against aquaplaning.
The modern tread of the CityTech II effectively channels the water away when it rains. This improves the protection against aquaplaning.
Excellent handling on dry roads.
The tyre is very robust – this results in very good cornering stability on dry roads and optimises the handling performance on corners and when driving in a straight line.
Reduced noise level and improved driving comfort.
Road noise is reduced and the low noise level improves driving comfort.
The modern lateral groove system in the tread grooves means that water is effectively channelled from the contact area in the middle to the large circumferential grooves. This ensures good protection against aquaplaning.
Excellent handling on dry roads.
The outer shoulder is made up of closed shoulder blocks with a solid circumferential groove. This increases the rigidity and results in very good cornering stability on dry roads. The handling performance on corners and when driving in a straight line is optimised.
Reduced noise level and improved driving comfort.
The uniform width and inclination of the shoulder grooves, in combination with the slightly offset inner and outer shoulders, reduces the road noise due to the optimised frequency overlay. The low noise level improves the driving comfort
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more
