About Leao Lion Sport HP 255/70R15 108S

Wet-Road Performance

The Lion Sport HP uses four wide circumferential grooves to channel water away from the contact patch. This helps maintain tyre-to-road contact on wet surfaces and reduces the risk of hydroplaning during everyday driving.

Wet Braking

The tread pattern provides multiple contact edges while the wide longitudinal grooves assist water evacuation. These features are designed to support predictable braking and traction when driving on wet pavement.

Dry-Road Handling

High-angled centre tread blocks place a substantial amount of rubber on the road to support straight-line stability and reduce uneven wear. A continuous centre rib contributes to steering response, while the larger shoulder blocks support cornering control.

Ride Comfort and Noise

The symmetrical tread pattern distributes contact forces evenly across the tyre. Optimised tread and shoulder elements are designed to reduce road noise and vibration, helping provide a more comfortable driving experience.

Rolling Resistance

The exact rolling-resistance value for the 255/70R15 108S specification is not confirmed. The Lion Sport HP is primarily designed to provide balanced handling, wet traction, comfort and tread durability.

All-Season Road Use

The Lion Sport HP is an all-season tyre intended for year-round road use in normal dry and wet conditions. The exact 255/70R15 specification is not certified with the 3PMSF severe-snow symbol, so it should not be treated as a dedicated severe-winter tyre.

Load Capacity

The 108 load index corresponds to a maximum load of approximately 1,000 kg per tyre. The standard-load construction should be used only where this specification matches the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre requirements.

S Speed Rating

The S speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 180 km/h. Actual vehicle operation should always remain within the manufacturer's recommended tyre and vehicle speed limits.

Vehicle Compatibility

The 255/70R15 size is suitable for compatible passenger vehicles and SUVs using 15-inch wheels. Fitment should be confirmed using the vehicle manufacturer's approved tyre size, load index, speed rating and rim specifications before installation.
