ADVAN V61

About this product

Original Equipment Premium SUV Tires * The E+ mark is not available on all sizes. ADVAN V61 Exclusive design pattern Newly designed tread pattern produces quietness and reliable wear / wet performance A Inner Pattern Design The inner pattern offers superior wet performance. The goal here is excellent drainage, achieved by more groove surface area on the inside as opposed to the outside, as well as the narrow grooves etched into the innermost section. B Outer Pattern Design The outer design pattern determines dry performance. A special feature of this tire is its high level of rigidity and large contact area, which supports heavy loads by engendering solid grip when the vehicle turns a corner. C Non-Penetrating Lug Grooves Air pumping noise is produced when the compressed air generated between the tire and the road is released. The non-penetrating lug grooves prevent air from escaping, reducing noise. D Lightning Edge Grooves Both sides of the center ribbing as well as the outer edges of the grooves are etched with a zigzag (lightning) shape. This enhances rigidity to yield edging that handles water film. The result is both better wet performance and overall handling. E Four Straight Grooves + One Narrow Groove In addition to four thick grooves, the design also features a narrow groove on the inside. Improvements have been made to the drainage when the car is travelling on wet surfaces, yielding superior performance in hydroplaning situations. Delivers opposing wet performance and fuel economy at a high level Silica does not mix easily with rubber, but is dispersed evenly by a blend of coupling agents and silica dispersants. Small grain particulate silica is used to improve wet performance and wear resistance by increasing adhesive friction. A.R.T. mixing is applied to enhance silica dispersion. It also offers a high balance of wear resistance, wet performance, and roll resistance. A specialized profile accommodates heavy loads and strikes a perfect balance between wet performance and fuel efficiency The profile is crucial in that it achieves a balance between various performance indicators. The ADVAN V61 profile is wide to offer greater ground contact. Additionally, genetic algorithms are applied using AI to create an optimal shape that optimizes both wet performance and fuel efficiency—which are a challenge to balance without compromising one or the other—while at the same time handling heavy loads.
