Comments from the Development Team
What is a true SportsTire?.
The sensation of turning in while slowing down and turning from the front of the car is uplifting..
Trace the targeted Line.. Passing through the clipping point, the vehicle body is raised and accelerated.. Engine RPMs going up.
Comfortable feeling of Rear gripping the ground..
Now the next Corner is coming up..
Grip performance sufficient for sports driving, nimble and stress-free handling to trace the target line.
Wet performance for more peace of mind in the event of sudden rain, life for long trips, and a comfortable ride..
SPORTMAX Q5A is a tire that can be used all-around while pursuing sports performance..
