About Leao Lion Sport 3 205/50 R17 93W

Wet-Road Performance

The Lion Sport 3 uses four wide circumferential grooves to evacuate water from the contact area and help reduce the risk of hydroplaning. Its asymmetric tread layout and dense siping provide additional biting edges for wet-road traction.

Wet Braking

The tread design is engineered to maintain road contact on wet surfaces, while the silica-based compound supports grip across changing temperatures. The available technical specification lists an A traction grade for this 205/50 R17 93W version.

Dry-Road Handling

The ribbed tread design helps maintain a stable contact footprint and improves steering response. The asymmetric pattern distributes the tread elements between the inner and outer zones to balance grip, stability and cornering behaviour.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The ribbed tread construction is designed to maintain consistent road contact while limiting irregular wear. Exact external rolling-noise data for the 205/50 R17 93W specification is not confirmed.

Rolling Resistance

The Lion Sport 3 uses a silica-based rubber compound intended to maintain flexibility and durability across a wide temperature range. Exact EU rolling-resistance data for this specific specification is not confirmed.

All-Season Road Use

The Lion Sport 3 is an all-season high-performance tyre intended for dry, wet and light winter conditions. Its siping and drainage grooves help provide year-round road traction, although it should not be considered a replacement for a dedicated winter tyre in severe snow or ice conditions.

Load Capacity

The 93 load index corresponds to a maximum load of 650 kg per tyre under the applicable operating conditions. This version carries an XL, or Extra Load, designation.

W Speed Rating

The W speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 270 km/h. This makes the tyre appropriate for vehicles requiring a high-speed 205/50 R17 specification, subject to the vehicle manufacturer's requirements.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 205/50 R17 Lion Sport 3 is intended for passenger cars and sporty sedan applications. The 93W XL specification should only be fitted where the vehicle manufacturer approves the size, load index and speed rating.
