As part of its 80th anniversary celebration,
Shinko Tires has introduced the new 017
Peak Sport Radial sport/sport-touring tire.
The 017 Peak has a lightweight carcass
combined with a jointless spiral steel
belt that enhances agility, high-speed
stability and cornering confidence. The
center compound is formulated for stability
and longevity, while the high-grip silica-
enriched shoulder compounds offer
consistent traction and quick warmup.
The tread pattern has an angled center
groove for straight-line stability, and the
diagonally carved shoulder grooves aid in
cornering traction.
