Volante V8T touring car rubber tyres

Volante have introduced their new V8T touring car outdoor asphalt tyres. The production of the Volante V5-36R, V7-32R, and 36R tyres had to face the problem of limited raw material for several months with the shortage having affected all major tyre manufacturers. As a result Volante opted to change the focus on the development of a brand-new asphalt tyres series – the V8T. The project combines several updates that started with the creation of a newly formulated rubber compound. The main goal was to produce a tyre that demonstrates longer durability and a reliable performance regarding grip and control. The new V8T series of tyres integrates a newly formulated tyre compound with an ultra-thin yet durable inner belt. The result is a more balanced tyre that provides consistent lap times from the beginning till the end. The V8T is available in 24R, 28R, 32R and 36R compounds, remounted on dish or 7-spoke rims.
