Spring is a wonderful time during which many things in nature are renewed. However, such an update affects not only natural processes. Motorists are well aware that changing seasons incurs additional costs caused by the need to change their car into rubber suitable for the temperature regime and the season. One of the innovations in the world of tires that have recently entered the market is the Solazo Premium. The reviews left by those drivers who have already been able to try out the new tires, as well as official information from the manufacturer and test results from leading automotive publications, will help determine how good a tire from this manufacturer can be and who they are best suited for.
The purpose of these tires
Rubber Premiorri Solazo was developed by the manufacturer for the summer season. It combines several advantages that allow you to cope with a number of tasks associated with the not very good condition of modern domestic roads. Despite the fact that the tires are summer, they got a fairly powerful tread, which we will talk about a little later. He is just responsible for patency in any conditions, at least, so say the developers.
The creators of Premiorri Solazo rubber, reviews of which we will analyze at the end of the article, recommend using it on cars of the middle and premium price segments of predominantly European production, despite its relatively low cost. According to them, tires should provide a comfortable ride on any type of road surface, regardless of which class your car belongs to.
Tread design development
Manufacturers approached this issue responsibly, trying to lay in the drawing not only practical, but also aesthetic properties. The tire Premiorri Solazo received a tread with a symmetrical structure, allowing the tire to deal with any conditions on the road. High tread is used to overcome the primer and off-road, providing reliable adhesion to the surface. Thanks to him, it was possible to strengthen the edges of the tire, which makes it possible to maintain shape when hitting various obstacles encountered on the highway, and to avoid punctures and cuts.
The lamellas were thought out in such a way as to drain water from the point of contact with the road, which also increases the adhesion to the road surface during bad weather. Their structure makes it easy to clean from dirt and small stones during movement, although they are mainly intended for driving along paved roads.
In the center of the drawing of the tire “Premiori Solazo” there is an axial line, the purpose of which is to ensure directional stability and high-quality coupling when maneuvering. Thanks to her, if the rubber is installed correctly and there are no problems with the chassis and suspension of the car, you can rest assured that the car will drive along a smooth path regardless of the speed and quality of the road surface.
Special rubber composition
For Premiorri Solazo, Italians thought of a special mixture that provides softness, but at the same time retains all the wear resistance properties of a quality product. This mixture also has a positive effect on the quality of adhesion to the surface due to its softness and elasticity.
It includes a silicon oxidizing agent. It is designed to increase the service life of rubber, increase its service life. However, thanks to him, another positive side effect appears. As you know, rubber with a high tread has a high rolling resistance. This problem is minimized precisely due to the presence of silicic acid, which reduces this indicator to an acceptable framework, which contributes to fuel economy during movement. Especially this fact may appeal to those who are worried about the state of the environment, since it is precisely the prevention of excessive fuel consumption that reduces the level of harmful emissions into the atmosphere to a minimum.
Sidewall strength increase
The developers have tried to take into account all the threats to the integrity of the tire "Premiori Solazo" that may arise when driving on the road. Therefore, in addition to strengthening the main working part of the tire and its tread, a system was developed to protect the sidewalls from punctures and cuts. This opportunity was realized with the help of a new technology, which was patented by a manufacturer called SantaFlex 6 PPD. This technology increases the strength and stiffness of the side of each tire, which significantly increases not only the service life, but also increases driving stability, especially on hot summer days, when the rubber becomes too soft and can simply "float" on the wheel.
Central medial rib
Speaking of the tread, we have already mentioned the center line running through the whole pattern. Its peculiarity is that it does not have gaps along its entire length, which provides increased strength of the Solazo Premium tire, driver reviews often confirm this fact. On its sides are denticles with small lamellas. They make it possible to increase the coupling with the road during maneuvering, when the main load falls on one side of the medial rib.
Thus, his task is also to evenly distribute the force necessary to maintain the direction of movement throughout the rubber, which ensures uniform wear on its entire surface and reduces the risk of tearing.
The role of lamellas in providing traction and braking
The lamellas that can be seen in the tread pattern are also not scattered in a chaotic manner. For each of them, the place was thought out and calculated not only by a team of professional designers, but also with the help of computer modulation of various situations that arise on domestic roads. As a result, the summer tires “Premiori Solazo” received a competent arrangement of lamellas, which made it possible to provide the best rowing force, regardless of whether the car is currently on asphalt on a federal highway or on a country dirt road of the nearest summer cottage.
Due to the fact that they effectively remove moisture from under the wheels, you can be sure of the quality of adhesion to the road surface even during rain or immediately after it. It is worth noting that the edges formed by a web of lamellas show their best side not only during acceleration, but also during braking. Again, regardless of the quality of the track and its condition, the braking distance is a short distance due to confident coupling with the roadway.
Certification and Standardization
Italians tried to make world-famous products by certifying tires with almost all available methods and in many countries. On the Premium Solazo rubber, the manufacturer puts several marks indicating that it has passed numerous quality checks and compliance with requirements and standards around the world. So, it is accompanied by certificates authorizing the use and sale in the United States, there is evidence of compliance with Brazilian standards.
Europe also did not stand aside, and, as the documentation shows, the Premium Solazo 175 * 70 R13 tire fully complies with European standards regarding adhesion to different types of road surface, noise and maximum speed.
All this was preceded by many years of development, in which leading Italian scientists from this field invested time, effort and knowledge. The result is a product that the manufacturer is proud of, at the same time at a relatively low price. However, you need to consider how much the declared characteristics correspond to real ones. Let us now briefly summarize the main positive qualities of rubber according to the developers, and then compare them with the real picture, considering the reviews written by Solazo Premieri of drivers who have been skating on it for some time.
The main advantages according to the manufacturer
So, among the positive aspects highlighted in most advertising texts, the following points can be distinguished:
- Tread with original design. This moment has at least two implementations. The drawing itself turned out to be beautiful, and, as a result, rubber should decorate the car on which it is installed. The second aspect is the drawing is practical, as tests show with respect to the "Premium Solazo", and allows the driver to feel confident behind the wheel, regardless of what weather conditions are on board or what type of road surface he is driving.
- Innovative approaches used during development and production. According to manufacturers, this rubber is simply crammed with new technologies, each of which individually now has its own patent. How practical such an approach can only show time, since most of these technologies are aimed specifically at increasing the service life.
- Balanced rubber compound used for the manufacture of the side part. There were some surprises here, and the manufacturer assures that the rubber is able to survive heavy loads on the side, while avoiding cuts or punctures and maintaining its shape. This should also help to prevent the appearance of hernias on the lateral surface.
- Increased grip. There is no need to explain anything here - the manufacturer guarantees a high-quality road coupling, regardless of whether it is asphalt or soil, wet or dry. Of course, all this is within the framework of the laws of physics, so no one has canceled caution when driving.
- Special rubber compound for tread working part. The addition of silicic acid should solve the problem of wear, as well as increase the tread strength for puncture and cut. And the softness, which is also provided by the oxidizing agent, improves the quality of coupling with the track.
- Uniform wear . This aspect, according to the developer, is achieved thanks to a well-thought-out arrangement of tread elements and lamellas between them, as well as due to the improved Premiorri Solazo rubber compound. The marking of the mixture is also certified, and you can find out its composition from open sources.
- The presence of carbon black among the components , which is considered a panacea in terms of strength regarding punctures and cuts, as well as impacts on the disk and the sharp edges of the pits on the roads.
Here is such a large list provided by the manufacturer. Let's now analyze the feedback of motorists who already had the opportunity to exploit this rubber, and see how it lives up to expectations. Let's start with the positive points, because you always want first of all something good.
Positive user reviews
When choosing a rubber, many drivers pay attention to those aspects that excite them the most, and they can completely turn a blind eye to some problems, because with their driving style they may not appear at all. One of the main advantages of these tires, many call low cost. And this is true, because in some cases at the Premium Solazo the price is even lower than that of domestic rubber. However, how does this affect quality? Now we find out.
The second positive aspect can definitely be called a thoughtful tread pattern. However, this will be more relevant for those who drive not only on asphalt, otherwise a large tread may turn out to be a minus, and a little later we will emphasize why this is so. In this embodiment, the tread, as shown by the "Premium Solazo" reviews, provides excellent patency when driving on the ground, and a reliable grip on the road when driving on asphalt.
The softness of the rubber compound has become the third plus. It provides comfort while driving and gives you the opportunity to experience the pleasure of driving a car. Due to its softness, rubber manages to “swallow” small bumps on the road, such as small bumps or stones, which is also an undoubted advantage.
Drivers who use their vehicles heavily, for example, while working in a taxi, note tire durability compared to competitors and high wear resistance. From them, you can get feedback on good dynamic characteristics, as well as effective braking under various conditions. Moreover, in some cases, such reviews come not only from drivers of sedans, but also larger cars, such as crossovers and even SUVs.
However, no product can do without cons, and this rubber also has them. Let's take a look at the Premiorri Solazo reviews, which are negative, so that everyone can decide for themselves how critical they are and whether to buy these tires for themselves.
Negative reviews of drivers
One of the main aspects that should have inevitably manifested itself with this form of tread is a rather high noise, like for summer tires, when driving at speed over asphalt pavement. If the sound insulation of the car is not very high quality, then this can be a pretty serious problem, especially if you plan trips over long distances. Therefore, if you plan to ride only on asphalt, then you should think about whether you really need tires with such characteristics with respect to terrain, or will a model with a lower tread be enough? If the presence of the possibility of unhindered movement along the primer is necessary, then you will have to put up with noise, because any rubber with such characteristics will have it.
The second aspect is the excessive softness of the rubber at high temperatures overboard. On hot sunny days, rubber can still become too soft, which makes driving more difficult. This is especially noticeable on models that can not be called low profile.
Attentively to the second aspect it is necessary to look narrowly at those who love aggressive style of driving. If you do not protect the rubber at critically high temperatures and continue to abruptly tear it away and brake it urgently, it can lead, resulting in an unpleasant runout. In some cases, as noted by drivers publishing reviews about the Solazo Premium, it can be eliminated by re-balancing, but you don’t need to hope for it.
Comparison with declared characteristics and conclusion
As a result, it can be noted that in general the manufacturer fulfilled its promises. The resulting tires "Premium Solazo" has good dynamic characteristics and allows you to feel confident on the track, regardless of its condition and speed.
But at the same time, one way or another, you have to put up with the noise that occurs during movement due to the high tread. For some drivers, it is not a big problem, for others it can be an unbearable irritant. Therefore, when choosing rubber is recommended to consider this point.
Otherwise, if you want to save money, but at the same time get high-quality and durable tires, then you will make the right choice by buying this particular rubber. It will be able to please with its high resource and will make it possible to save money not only due to the lack of the need for an immediate replacement with a new one, but also due to a decrease in fuel consumption.
