The PLATIN summer tyres
PLATIN RP 420 SUMMER and PLATIN RP 320 SUMMER in the big comparison test on the test track.
PLATIN RP 320 SUMMERTechnology • Endurance • Performance |
Improved grip and better handlingStrong asymmetrically arranged blocks increase the stiffness of the profile and the broad middle belt structure improves braking performance. |
Low noise levelProfile webs (so-called "Tie Bars") in the inner shoulder serve to reduce noise. |
High level of safety on wet roadsBroad middle grooves in the profile lead to efficient water drainage. |
Better aquaplaning performance and improved adhesion of the tyres in the wetReduced risk of aquaplaning due to an additional narrow groove next to the outer shoulder. |
High wet grip for optimal handling and braking performanceSipes with multiple angles in the profile shoulders act like windscreen wipers when braking and the zigzag grooved indentations in the middle belts take out water and improve the handling in the wet. |

Can I fit this tyre on my car?
The EU tyre label helps consumers to decide in favour of a higher fuel efficiency class for their tyres. This can contribute to large reductions in running costs and emissions. Enhanced wet grip means greater road safety, and details of external rolling noise contributes to a reduction in traffic noise levels.
The actual fuel savings and road safety depend heavily on the behaviour of drivers, and in particular on the following:
Less rolling noise saves fuel and cuts CO2. This property is assigned to classes A to E.
Wet grip is assigned to classes A to E. Wet grip is crucial to safe driving. For instance, the difference between class A and class E braking distances is 18 m.
The label presents the volume in dB and the class A (quieter), B, or C (louder). The noise emitted by tyres affects the total noise levels emitted by the vehicle.
The snowflake symbol confirms that the snow tested tyre keeps within the 3PMSF limits (type approval).
