Marangoni presents new winter, light transport tyres

Marangoni presented two new additions for 2011 in Bologna in the Marangoni M-Power high performance tyre and the 4 Winter comm, a light transport winter tyre. The M-Power is designed for sports cars and SUVs, with an asymmetrical tread that has a block binding system, which gives greater handling benefits. It boasts sporting characteristics, but four longitudinal grooves reduce the typical aquaplaning effect of closed sporting patterns.

M-Power has been designed to highlight the power of high performance sports cars, the company said. The tyre is also available in a version specifically designed for high performance SUVs. The tyre is available in nine 19” and 20” sizes, from 255/35 ZR19 to 295/25 ZR20, while the version for SUVs includes five 19” and 20” sizes, from 255/50 R19 to 275/40 R 20.

Previewed at Autorpomotec and new for the coming winter season is the Marangoni 4 Winter comm, designed for light transport. Developed using the 4WD technological platform, the tyre provides improved grip on snow and on mixed or wet surfaces in the coldest months of the year. In designing the tyre Marangoni says it combined the experience acquired in the development of the new e-comm light commercial tyres with the 4WD (4 Winter Driving) winter technology. The tyre features a longitudinal groove pattern with a tread compound providing low hysteresis and high grip. The Marangoni 4 Winter comm range includes 13 sizes, from 195/60 R16 to 215/75 R16.
