The Rapid P609 is a summer tyre designed for high-performance vehicles. Its asymmetric, directional tread pattern optimises the outer contact patch, delivering excellent grip and precise handling in corners, even at high speed.
Developed for urban and road driving, it effectively reduces noise, vibrations and the impact of road surface irregularities. The P609 therefore offers a comfortable driving experience while maintaining excellent stability.
Its construction and design enhance skid resistance, steering precision and high-speed performance. The Rapid P609 thus combines responsiveness, safety and driving pleasure.
The all-season anti-skid sipes that cover the tread, offer great stability in all weather conditions, while allowing better traction during acceleration and braking.
The "green" tread compound reduces, thanks to a higher silica ratio, the friction between rubber molecules, which decreases energy loss and reduces overall rolling resistance.
A specially designed outer shoulder reduces deformations in cornering for precise and stable driving.
