Description
GT Radial Champiro UHP AS – 245/40 ZR18 97Y XL
The GT Radial Champiro UHP AS 245/40 ZR18 97Y XL is an ultra high-performance all-season tyre designed for drivers who demand maximum control, precise steering, and strong grip at high speeds. It is ideal for sporty sedans and performance vehicles where handling accuracy and stability are top priorities.
This tyre is engineered with an advanced silica-enriched compound and an asymmetric tread pattern that enhances road contact, improves cornering stability, and delivers fast steering response. It ensures consistent performance in both dry and wet conditions, making it suitable for dynamic urban driving and high-speed highway use.
Wide circumferential grooves efficiently evacuate water from the tread surface, reducing aquaplaning risk and improving wet-road safety. Reinforced shoulder blocks provide superior cornering grip, while optimized tread stiffness enhances driving precision and stability during aggressive maneuvers.
The XL (Extra Load) construction increases load-carrying capacity and durability, making it suitable for heavier performance setups or demanding driving conditions. Despite its sporty nature, it maintains a comfortable ride by reducing road noise and vibration.
Strong radial construction with steel belt reinforcement ensures long-lasting durability, structural strength, and consistent performance under high-speed and high-load conditions.
