The Changing Face of the High Performance Segment - Bridgestone reports particularly strong HP sales growth

摘要

The two edged sword of increasing vehicle power (and therefore engine size and component weight) is continuing to direct the evolution of the high performance tyre sector. And along with this trend for power comes an increasing degree of crossover between the car and SUV segments. That's why this year's high performance tyre feature contains details of both the out-and-out car orientated products and some sporty SUV tyres intended for vehicles like Audi's Q7 and the Porsche Cayenne. With relevant launches from Michelin (Latitude Sport and Latitude Tour HP), Dunlop (Grandtrek Touring A/S), Vredestein (Ultrac SUV Sessanta) and Bridgestone (Dueler H/P Sport RFT - all covered in this feature) the importance of such developments cannot be ignored.
