Tread Design and Steering Response

The N'Fera RU5 uses an asymmetric tread pattern developed for SUV and crossover applications. Its tread layout combines stability-focused outer ribs with grooves and micro-groove features to support responsive steering and controlled road contact.

Dry-Road Handling and Cornering

The 245 mm section width provides a broad contact area for stable dry-road behaviour. The asymmetric tread and reinforced outer rib structure are designed to improve cornering stability and maintain predictable steering response during everyday road driving.

Wet-Road Performance

Wavy grooves and water-management channels help evacuate water from the contact patch, supporting wet-road grip and resistance to hydroplaning. The tread design also uses additional siping to assist traction on wet surfaces.

Highway Stability and Comfort

The 60-series profile provides a balance between road response and ride cushioning, while the SUV-oriented construction is designed for stable highway and urban driving. The tread pattern is also engineered to maintain controlled road noise and comfortable everyday manners.

Seasonal and SUV Use

The N'Fera RU5 is marketed for SUV and crossover applications and is available as an all-season/touring-oriented pattern in some markets, while other listings classify this exact configuration as a summer tyre. The exact seasonal marking can vary by market, so the physical sidewall should be checked for the supplied 2024 tyre.

Load Capacity and Speed Rating

The 104 load index corresponds to a maximum load of 900 kg per tyre. The V speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 240 km/h, subject to the applicable load, inflation pressure and vehicle manufacturer's requirements.
