About Leao Lion Sport 4x4 HP3 235/55 R18 104V

Wet-Road Performance

Four circumferential grooves help move water away from the contact patch, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and maintaining traction on wet roads. The all-season compound and tread design are intended to provide consistent grip in changing weather conditions.

Wet Braking

The groove layout and multiple tread edges help maintain contact with wet pavement during braking. Available technical data identifies an A traction grade under the tyre's UTQG classification.

Dry-Road Handling

The solid centre rib is designed to improve straight-line stability, while the asymmetric ribbed tread helps maintain controlled steering response. The tread structure also distributes pressure across the contact patch to support stable handling and even wear.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The Lion Sport 4x4 HP3 uses a computer-optimized tread arrangement designed to reduce repetitive road noise. Its highway-oriented construction is intended to provide a smooth and comfortable driving experience, particularly during longer journeys.

Rolling Resistance

The all-season compound is designed to balance road grip, durability and everyday efficiency. Exact EU rolling-resistance data for the 235/55 R18 104V XL specification is not confirmed.

All-Season Road Use

The Lion Sport 4x4 HP3 is designed for all-season highway use, with tread grooves and siping intended to maintain traction across dry, wet and mild winter conditions. The available exact specification is not listed with a 3PMSF severe-snow certification, so it should not be considered a replacement for a dedicated winter tyre in severe snow or ice.

Load Capacity

The 104 load index corresponds to a maximum load of 900 kg per tyre under the applicable operating conditions. The XL designation identifies this as an Extra Load construction.

V Speed Rating

The V speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 240 km/h. This makes the tyre suitable for vehicles requiring a V-rated 235/55 R18 tyre, subject to the vehicle manufacturer's approved specifications.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 235/55 R18 Lion Sport 4x4 HP3 is designed primarily for SUVs, crossovers and light-truck applications. The 104V XL specification should be confirmed against the vehicle manufacturer's required tyre size, load index and speed rating before installation.
