About Leao Nova-Force GP 175/70R14 88T XL

Wet-Road Performance

The Nova-Force GP uses longitudinal grooves to help move water away from the contact patch. This tread arrangement supports stable road contact and useful wet-weather traction during normal urban and highway driving.

Wet Braking

The tread pattern provides multiple contact edges and drainage channels designed to maintain grip on wet pavement. The exact 175/70R14 specification carries a C wet-grip rating, providing a defined EU-label reference for wet-road braking performance.

Dry-Road Handling

The symmetrical tread pattern is designed to maintain consistent contact with the road surface and provide predictable steering response. The 175/70 profile also provides a practical balance between handling stability and everyday ride quality.

Ride Comfort and Noise
