About Seam Premium Plus 265/35 R18 97W

The Premium Plus is designed for road use with a wide 265 mm footprint and low-profile 35-series construction. This combination is intended to provide a balance of steering precision, road stability and sporty driving response.

Tread Design and Steering Response

The road-oriented tread is designed to maintain consistent contact with the road and provide predictable steering response. The broad footprint supports directional stability during acceleration, lane changes and highway driving.

Dry-Road Handling and Cornering

The 265 mm section width provides a broad contact area for dry-road grip and cornering stability, while the 35-series profile helps reduce sidewall flex and support precise steering response.

Wet-Road Performance

The tread pattern is designed to help move water away from the contact area and maintain predictable handling on wet paved roads. Actual wet-road grip and braking performance depend on tyre condition, inflation pressure, temperature, road surface and vehicle setup.

Comfort and Everyday Driving

The 35-series low-profile construction prioritizes handling precision and steering response over maximum ride cushioning. Compared with higher-profile tyres, the driving feel may be firmer over potholes and uneven road surfaces.
