The Grenlander Estrella 88 is a summer touring tyre for passenger cars, designed to combine acoustic comfort, grip and mileage life. Its tread pattern and silica compound are intended to deliver precise control on both dry roads and wet surfaces.
- Outer shoulder blocks: the wide blocks on the outer section, combined with narrow grooves, increase the contact area in corners for better grip and precise vehicle control.
- Main grooves: the multiple straight grooves efficiently evacuate water from the contact area, reduce the risk of aquaplaning and improve traction on wet roads.
- Inner diagonal grooves: on the inner section, the shaped diagonal grooves enhance drainage and wet-surface grip in difficult conditions.
- Sipes and lateral grooves with uniform depth: the resulting tread rigidity helps to increase tyre mileage.
- Optimised variable tread pitch: the pitch arrangement, calculated by computer simulation, reduces rolling noise for a quieter, more comfortable drive.
- Silica rubber compound: the silica compound improves grip on wet and slippery roads while reducing rolling resistance, contributing to safer driving and lower fuel consumption.
From cornering stability to wet-surface drainage, the Estrella 88 supports passenger cars in everyday use while preserving acoustic comfort, mileage and energy efficiency.
