Green & Reliable
Touring VP Plus tyres are built with low rolling resistance technology to help improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO₂ emissions, while maintaining dependable road grip and handling. They deliver stable steering feedback and precise braking across a wide variety of road surfaces and typical driving conditions.
Designed to perform well in warm and wet climates (excluding heavy snow and severe ice), this tyre offers consistent all‑season usability.
Advanced Tread Compound
The tyre’s premium touring compound enhances wet braking performance and improves traction on slippery surfaces while maintaining strong dry grip. The symmetric tread pattern promotes even wear and high mileage.
Wide circumferential grooves help channel water swiftly away from the contact patch, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, while reinforced shoulder blocks provide added stability during lane changes and turns.
Reinforced Construction
GT Radial Touring VP Plus 215/65 R16 features robust radial construction reinforced with steel belts to improve structural strength, high‑speed stability, and long‑lasting durability. Its internal design also helps reduce road noise and vibration for a smooth and comfortable ride.
