Dry Grip
Dry grip is the tyre's adhesion to the road surface in dry conditions, determined primarily by the rubber compound's ability to conform to surface texture and the contact patch area. Summer and performance tyres are optimised for maximum dry grip using softer compounds and minimal tread void. Dry grip is critical for braking performance and cornering stability in fair weather.
