About Seam Jupiter 255/35 R19 96Y

The Jupiter is a road-focused summer tyre designed for compact and performance-oriented passenger vehicles. Its low-profile construction is intended to provide responsive steering and stable road behaviour while maintaining a practical balance for everyday driving.

Tread Design and Steering Response

The Jupiter uses a symmetric tread design with circumferential grooves intended to promote efficient water drainage. The tread layout is designed to maintain consistent road contact and provide predictable steering response during everyday driving and highway manoeuvres.

Dry-Road Handling and Cornering

The 255 mm footprint provides a broad contact area for dry-road stability, while the 35-series profile helps reduce sidewall flex and support precise steering response. This combination is particularly suited to drivers who prefer a sporty and responsive road feel.

Wet-Road Performance

The circumferential grooves are designed to channel water away from the contact area and support wet-road control. The Jupiter is marketed for consistent wet grip and braking performance. Actual wet-road grip and braking depend on tyre condition, inflation pressure, temperature, road surface and vehicle setup.

Comfort and Everyday Driving

The 35-series low-profile construction prioritizes steering precision and road response over maximum ride cushioning. Drivers may experience a firmer ride over broken or uneven surfaces compared with higher-profile tyre configurations.

Seasonal Performance

The Seam Jupiter is classified as a summer touring tyre. It is intended primarily for normal paved-road driving in warm and moderate conditions and is not a dedicated winter tyre.

Load Capacity and Speed Rating

The 96 load index corresponds to a maximum load of 710 kg per tyre. The Y speed rating corresponds to a maximum rated speed of 300 km/h, subject to the applicable load, inflation pressure and vehicle manufacturer's requirements.
