TYRE PROTECH NEW GEN

Viking ProTech NewGen 195/60 R15 88H

The Viking ProTech NewGen is a high‑performance summer tyre engineered for the modern driver who demands both safety and style. Designed with an advanced tread compound and a sophisticated sidewall construction, this tyre delivers exceptional grip on dry roads while maintaining excellent handling characteristics at higher speeds.

Key Specifications

• Size: 195/60 R15 – a common dimension for compact and midsize cars, offering a balanced profile between ride comfort and cornering stability.
• Speed Rating: H (up to 210 km/h / 130 mph) – suitable for everyday driving as well as spirited performance on highways.
• Tread Pattern: Symmetrical, with a central groove that efficiently evacuates water and enhances traction on wet surfaces.
• Construction: Multi‑ply sidewalls provide rigidity, reducing flex during high‑speed cornering while keeping the tyre lightweight.

Tread Compound & Technology

The ProTech NewGen incorporates a proprietary rubber blend that optimises both grip and durability. The compound is engineered to resist wear under high temperatures, ensuring consistent performance throughout the tyre’s lifespan. Additionally, the tread design features micro‑channels that improve airflow, reducing heat build‑up and extending service life.

Performance Highlights

• Dry Traction: The high‑silica content in the tread compound provides excellent adhesion on paved roads, allowing for confident braking and precise steering inputs.
• Wet Handling: The symmetrical groove layout promotes rapid water evacuation, mitigating hydroplaning risks even at moderate speeds.
• Comfort: The balanced sidewall stiffness delivers a smooth ride, absorbing road imperfections without compromising handling sharpness.
• Noise Reduction: Optimised tread geometry reduces rolling resistance and road noise, contributing to an overall quieter driving experience.

Ideal Applications

This tyre is tailored for drivers who require a reliable summer solution across various vehicle types:

• Compact cars – perfect for urban commuting with its compact profile and responsive handling.
• Midsize sedans – offers a blend of comfort and performance, suitable for both daily drives and long‑distance journeys.
• Performance vehicles – the H speed rating allows enthusiasts to push their cars closer to their limits while maintaining safety.

Installation & Maintenance Tips

• Always rotate tyres every 8,000–10,000 km to promote even wear.
• Maintain proper tyre pressure as specified by the vehicle manufacturer; under‑inflation can lead to increased heat build‑up and accelerated tread wear.
• Inspect for sidewall damage or uneven tread wear regularly; replace if any irregularities are detected.
