Tread Design and Steering Response

The tread design is engineered to provide stable road contact and predictable steering response. Its road-oriented tread configuration supports straight-line stability and controlled handling during lane changes and cornering.

Dry-Road Handling and Cornering

The 245 mm section width creates a broad contact area for dry-road grip, while the 35-series profile contributes to sharper steering response and cornering stability. The 96Y XL specification is suited to vehicles requiring a high-speed, reinforced tyre configuration.

Wet-Road Performance

The tread incorporates circumferential grooves and traction edges designed to help evacuate water from the contact patch and maintain grip on wet paved roads. Wet braking and handling performance can vary according to speed, tyre pressure, road surface, temperature and vehicle condition.

Comfort and Road Noise

The Majesty 9 Solus TA91 is positioned as a grand-touring tyre, balancing responsive handling with everyday driving refinement. Actual ride comfort and road noise depend on vehicle configuration, suspension condition, tyre pressure and road surface.

High-Speed Performance

The Y speed rating provides a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h under the applicable load and inflation conditions. The low-profile construction and XL specification are intended to provide stable road behaviour for compatible high-performance passenger vehicles.

Seasonal Performance

The 245/35 R21 96Y XL configuration is listed as an all-season grand-touring tyre. It is not identified with a Severe Snow Service 3PMSF rating, so it should not be treated as a dedicated severe-winter tyre.

Load Capacity and Speed Rating

The 96 load index corresponds to a maximum load of 710 kg per tyre. The Y speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h, subject to the applicable load, inflation pressure and vehicle manufacturer's requirements.
