Welcome into the World of Westlake
WESTLAKE has launched its new flagship ultra-high performance passenger car tyre for the European market at Tire Cologne 2022.
The Westlake ZuperAce Z-007 delivers enhanced quietness, grip, and handling performance thanks to an all-around tyre structure upgrade with core technologies from ZC Rubber.
ZC Rubber said BPOT technology and Hybrid formula are the two leading technologies. BPOT technology significantly improves a tyre's high-speed performance, shoulder durability, and wear resistance. Hybrid Formula technology optimizes the distribution of Nano-Silica for improved grip and fuel efficiency while allowing for faster water drainage, resulting in the tyre's superb wet performance.
The Westlake ZuperAce Z-007 is a UHP tyre with strong overall performance. Thanks to innovative technological advances, the Z-007 outperforms the previous generation of UHP products in every way. It features large continuous blocks and scaled grooves with beveled edges for improved handling and grip performance. Coupled with the use of Hybrid Formula, the tyre's wet braking distance has been reduced by 10%. It also offers a 5% reduction in rolling resistance thanks to a redesigned tire profile based on ZC Rubber’s updated design theory. In addition, the 24 Soundbolt Arrays significantly minimize its interior noise levels for maximum comfort.
The Westlake ZuperAce Z-007 has been certified by the independent institute TÜV SÜD and was awarded the TÜV SÜD Mark certification at this Tire Cologne.
It will be available in a range of 17"-22" -sizes for the European market starting in June 2022, and will be fully introduced throughout Europe and Southeast Asia in the second half of 2022, following the initial roll-out.
