Technical features & benefits
New mixing & Filler-Polymer chemistry
Best wet performance due to optimal water drainage
Double angle 3D washboard sipes
Smoother pressure distribution to increase mileage
Features an interlocking mechanism for increasing
local pattern stiffness and reducing slippage versus predecessor.
New divergent shoulder lug design
For smoother water evacuation
Helps to improve the tyre’s traction on wet surfaces, channeling water away from underneath the tyre and mimising aquaplaning.
New low gauge body ply & tread plies
For reducing tyre weight & hysteresis
Thanks to low gauge body ply and tread plies, the Turanza 6 goes further with less fuel or energy due to reduced rolling resistance. The aerodynamic Rim Guard shape protects your tyre from sharp curvature changes and lessens drag forces.
