Technology
The GT Radial Touring VP Plus tyre is engineered with GT Radial’s advanced touring tread compound and optimized symmetric tread design to deliver balanced performance, comfort, and reliability for passenger vehicles. The tread features multiple longitudinal grooves for effective water evacuation, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, while the reinforced shoulder blocks provide improved stability and cornering control.
The tread structure promotes even pressure distribution across the tyre surface, resulting in uniform wear, extended tread life, and a smooth and confident driving experience.

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. These tyres deliver stable steering feedback and confident braking across a wide range of road conditions.
Designed to perform well in warm, wet, and mild climate conditions (excluding heavy snow or deep ice), this tyre delivers consistent all‑season performance.
Advanced Tread Compound
The tyre’s touring compound enhances wet braking performance and improves grip on slippery surfaces while maintaining strong dry traction. Longitudinal grooves help channel water away from the contact patch to reduce hydroplaning risk, while reinforced shoulder blocks maintain stability during cornering and highway driving.
The symmetric tread pattern works to ensure even wear, extend tyre life, and provide consistent handling throughout its service life.
Reinforced Construction
GT Radial Touring VP Plus 215/55 R16 features robust radial construction with steel belt reinforcement for improved high‑speed stability, structural strength, and long‑lasting durability. Its internal design also helps minimize road noise and vibration, resulting in a comfortable and pleasant ride.
