Technical Details

The rigidity and optimum stability of the tyre means the steering response is always precise – for safe driving even on winding roads.

In the rain the tread of the Altimax Sport quickly displaces the water from the tyre contact area, shortening the braking distance.

In order to achieve both good performance in wet conditions and low rolling resistance, the innovative silica compound ensures low fuel consumption and high mileage.

If the tread wears unevenly over the first 1,000 kilometres, the Visual Alignment Indicator technology (VAI) signals this to the user. This significantly extends the service life of the tyre.

RTM technology tells the driver in good time when a tyre change is due, which increases safety.

Wet Grip:

Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Fuel efficiency:

Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
Rolling noise:

This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.
