Tunga Zodiak 2 185/65 R15 92T summer Review

Tunga Zodiak 2 is a summer tire, which is an analogue of Cordiant Comfort, adopting all the features of the tread structure from it. The model has a wide applicability, both for cars of the domestic auto industry and foreign manufacturers. At the moment, the novelty, the release of which began at the end of 2016, is presented in 11 sizes, ranging from R13 to R16. Controllability The rigidity of the tire structure is given by a multilayer breaker, which is represented by 2 layers of steel cord and a layer of nylon. Such a structure allows not only to ensure good handling due to its rigidity, but also to protect the tire from the effects of mechanical elements, that is, punctures. All this has also affected the service life of the model, which differs in its duration compared to similar tires in this price category. Double layer tread The manufacturer used a protector, which is represented by 2 layers of rubber. The inner layer is more rigid. It is located under the grooves and provides increased structural strength while also contributing to fuel efficiency. The outer rubber compound is softer, providing better traction, both on dry pavement and in wet conditions. Special components in the composition of the upper layer give it wear resistance, which makes it possible to use the tire for many seasons without losing its functionality. The specifics of the tread structure This model has 3 ribs, the central of which is solid, and the other two have deep notches that connect to a common drainage system. This design provides effective control during maneuvers, and also contributes to the rapid removal of excess moisture from the contact zone. Thanks to the balance of these characteristics, the driver receives a high accuracy of suspension response to steering wheel actions. The same feature of the tread structure also affected the length of the braking distance, which was significantly reduced. And this is reflected in the overall safety. Main features of Tunga Zodiak 2 - budget tire with higher class characteristics; - two-layer tread compound; - durable metal cord with a nylon layer, providing puncture protection and good handling; - protection against aquaplaning is provided by a developed drainage system; - clear control on wet roads is ensured by the presence of three ribs in the central part of the tread. * Attention: summer tires of non-Russian origin can be marked with the designation M + S Features of the tread with 4 longitudinal paths and zigzag hydroevacuation grooves help drain water efficiently from the contact patch, which, together with the dissected blocks of a protector guarantees effective braking on any surface.
