Dunlop Direzza Sport Z1 |
 |
The Direzza
Sport Z1 is Dunlop's Extreme Performance Summer tire
developed for sports car, sports coupe and performance sedan
enthusiasts. The Direzza Sport Z1 is designed to provide
race tire-like traction on the street, as well as for
autocross, drifting and track events. The Direzza Sport Z1
is not intended to be driven through snow, on ice or
near-freezing temperatures.
Dunlop's Digital Rolling Simulation II (Digi-Tyre II)
predicts both road conditions and resulting tire behavior to
allow engineers and designers to simulate driving a vehicle
with Direzza Sport Z1 tires in the early stages of their
development. This allows Dunlop to optimize the
distribution, size and angles of the tread grooves.
The Direzza Sport Z1 features a unique high-grip tread
compound molded into a directional design featuring notched,
continuous shoulder ribs, large intermediate shoulder blocks
and a wide center rib to deliver consistent contact with the
road and enhance grip during cornering. Two wide,
circumferential center grooves, wavy shoulder grooves and
multiple lateral grooves provide water evacuation to enhance
wet traction. The tire's internal structure includes two
wide steel belts reinforced by a spirally wound JointLess
Band (JLB) Technology polyamide to provide strength, uniform
ride quality and high-speed capability while steel cord
reinforced, 2-ply polyester sidewalls help resist lateral
deflection to provide responsive handling and cornering
stability. |
