About Double Star DSU02 285/50 R20 116W

The DSU02 uses an asymmetric tread pattern with three central ribs and diagonal sipes. The tread layout is designed to provide balanced dry and wet-road grip, directional stability and responsive steering. The model is positioned as a value-oriented summer tyre for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

Dry-road handling

The wide 285 mm section provides a substantial contact footprint, helping support stable road contact during acceleration, braking and cornering. The rib-based tread structure is designed to improve steering precision and directional stability on paved roads.

Wet-road performance

The DSU02 features longitudinal grooves combined with diagonal and transverse grooves to help evacuate water from the contact area. This drainage arrangement is intended to reduce the risk of aquaplaning and maintain grip on wet roads.

Steering and cornering

The three central ribs contribute to directional stability, while the diagonal tread sipes are designed to provide a responsive reaction to steering inputs. The asymmetric tread layout supports controlled handling during cornering and manoeuvring.

High-speed stability

The 116W service description provides a maximum load capacity of 1,250 kg per tyre and a maximum speed rating of 270 km/h. The tyre should always be operated within its rated limits and according to the vehicle manufacturer's recommended specifications.

Comfort and road noise

The tread layout is designed to reduce air turbulence generated by the tread elements, with product descriptions highlighting a focus on acoustic comfort. Actual cabin noise can vary according to vehicle insulation, suspension, road surface, tyre pressure and wheel configuration.
