Dębica Launches Passio 2 Mileage Tyre

Dębica has launched a new passenger car tyre aimed at the mileage market. The Dębica Passio 2 summer tyre is the latest addition to the Passio product line, which is one of the most popular summer tyres in Poland, according to the Polish manufacturer (owned by the Goodyear group).

Dębica Passio 2 is said to offer a 16 per cent higher mileage performance than its predecessor. According to the manufacturer, the tyre shows improved performance in almost all characteristics, including driving and braking on wet surfaces as well as higher resistance to aquaplaning. Consequently, Dębica Passio 2 offers compact and mid-size cars improved performance on all road surfaces.

“Major underlying design requirements for Dębica Passio 2 included enhanced mileage performance without compromising on safety parameters and at the same time maintaining a competitive price. We created the new tyre with these specific goals in mind as a recent customer survey showed that economic characteristics such as outstanding mileage performance and competitive pricing without a compromise on safety were essential to customers. I believe that the Dębica Passio 2 tyre will be even more successful than its predecessor and will be very popular with European drivers,” said Leszek Szafran, Commercial Director of tyre Company Dębica S.A.

The modern technical solutions that were applied in the design of the new Passio 2 include an improved position of the blocks and the tyre contour, which results in an even pressure distribution and balanced tyre footprint, which in turn secures more stable handling performance and superior mileage characteristics. Furthermore, the optimized tread layout is designed to reduce tyre wear and enhance road grip for shorter braking distance.

Wide longitudinal grooves in the Dębica Passio 2 allow for strong water dispersion, thus making the tyre more resistant to aquaplaning, say company representatives, explaining that an enhanced number of radial grooves improve the efficiency of water dispersion from the tyre’s shoulder zone.
