The grip exerted by tyres is responsible for your car's acceleration, braking, and handling. You can have the most powerful engine or electric motor/s propelling your vehicle, but without good tyres, its performance potential cannot be realised.
Motorists have an almost endless array of options when it comes to buying new tyres, and this begs the question: Which brand of tyre should you buy?
Most drivers want the same thing: Good tyres that provide plenty of grip and a long service life yet are affordably priced. The conventional thinking is that 'better' tyres (i.e. those from big-name brands) are expensive and are thus only for luxury or exotic cars.
But what if you could have great quality at a great price? That's precisely what Lassa Tyres offers.
In 1996, Brisa became the first Turkish company to win the European Quality Grand Prize in recognition of its outstanding performance in business excellence. Brisa's state-of-the-art plants also produce tyres for the Bridgestone, Lassa, Dayton, and Kinesis brands.
Most users think that only leading global tyre manufacturers have completed the development of tyres for hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs) using advanced compounds.
Lassa Tyres has completed this development too! Lassa's Revola and Competus H/P3 are summer comfort tyres that cover a wide range of sizes from 15 inches to 21 inches. These hybrid- and EV-ready tyres also benefit internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with characteristics such as:
- Superior wet grip & shorter braking distances
- Reduced risk of hydroplaning
- Quieter ride thanks to reduced road noise technology
- Tyre weight decreased between 9% - 20%
- Improves efficiency between 5% - 10%
In Singapore, Lassa Tyres offers a wide lineup of tyres that are suitable for both passenger and commercial vehicles. These include the Lassa Competus HP/2 and Competus HP/3, which are aimed at SUV owners, Driveways Sport+ for sports cars, and Revola, which caters to hybrids and electric vehicles (EVs).
Hybrids and EVs require specialised tyres that Lassa Tyres has the expertise to produce. These types of vehicles tend to be heavier and produce instantaneous torque, which require the tyres to be able to withstand their mass while also providing grip and a long service life.
However, many crossovers and SUVs tend to be heavier due to their size. This is especially true if the cars are electric, as the battery pack is quite hefty. For owners of these cars, Lassa Tyres has the Competus H/P3.
The Competus H/P3 is ideal for our tropical climate as it is a summer tyre. Summer tyres are also adept at dealing with wet conditions and the Competus H/P3 promises excellent grip in either type of weather, thanks to its enhanced tread pattern and new compound technology, which has resulted in a label grade of 'A' for wet grip performance.
Better traction means reduced braking distances as well, which is key on slippery surfaces. The tread pattern and compound also contribute to nine percent less wear, thereby increasing the tyre's service life. In addition, the Competus H/P3 is marked 'EV Ready'. It is available in 27 different sizes.
The Lassa Revola is another tyre designed to suit EVs. It has been engineered to be up to 20% lighter than comparable rivals, thus allowing it to provide less rolling resistance. In fact, the Revola has earned an 'A' for wet grip, and a 'B' for efficiency by reducing fuel consumption by up to 5%.
EVs are much quieter than ICE cars as engine noise and vibration are absent. Revola has been designed to be quieter than non-EV specific tyres, thus preventing unwanted noise from disturbing the peaceful ride. It is available in 26 different sizes in Singapore.
Technology aside, Lassa Tyres are also safe. They are certified by TUV SUD, a German agency that provides testing, inspection, and certification solutions. To be certified by TUV SUD means the product can be trusted to perform as advertised by the consumer.
