　Dunlop (Sumitomo Rubber Industries) announced on January 6 that it will launch a Big scooter premium tire "ScootSmart2" from March 1st.The size is 9 size front and 5 rear, and the price is open price.

　Scoot Smart 2 is a scooter tire that pursues grip performance and ride comfort so that you can drive with confidence even on rainy days.Regardless of the weather, the scooter tires are used for commuting, commuting, shopping, and touring, so we aimed for tires that can be enjoyed every day and can run with peace of mind.By adopting new patterns and silica pounds, the company has improved the wet performance of 10 %, 20 % in life performance, and improved riding comfort performance.

Characteristics of Scoot Smart 2

　Long life is realized by optimizing the groove arrangement by wearing wear simulation.At the front desk, a thick and long late Laterteral groove and a center groove that penetrate from the center to the shoulder are provided, and the wet performance is improved by draining efficiently.In addition, the arrangement of flex sip has been optimized to optimize tread rigidity and improve the ground contact during turning.

　For the first time in Dunlop, a silica compound is used for scooter tires.The wet brake performance is improved by following the fine particle silica formulation by following the unevenness of the road surface.It also contributes to the realization of long life.

　By adopting a single R profile with a uniform radius of the tread cross section, even if the bank angle of the body changes, the shape change of the ground surface is suppressed, achieving smooth turning characteristics.In the rear, optimizing the front and rear roll balance to achieve obedient handling.

　The adoption of a softer sidewall -specific compound that is softer than the tread has optimized the deflection on the side, especially when turning.The use of a strong and supple polyester carcass has achieved smooth handling.

　In addition, by adopting these technologies, tire replacement work is possible with less power, and workability is improved than conventional Scoot Smart.Sumitomo Rubber Group's pars "Innovation in the future to create the best peace of mind and yorokobi", aiming for tires that can provide joy not only to users who use products, but also to dealers who are changing tires.Say it.
