Silverstone Synergy M3

By the turn of the millennium, it seems that the prominent hype of most urban dwellers would be the demand for sustainable energies, sustainable life-style and environmental friendly products. For this we see most major corporate struts their best on tapping this ever-growing business opportunity, well the same goes to Silverstone. To prove that they too have what it takes to be a responsible corporate, Silverstone unveils Synergy M3 for middle range vehicles namely compact cars. 

Specification;
Tyre Model: Silverstone Synergy M3
Tyre Size: 175/70 R13
Tyre Load Index: 82 = 475Kg
Tyre Speed Index: H = 210Km/h

because M3 is meant for middle range vehicles, therefore it's smallest available size is 155/80R12 77T with maximum load of 412Kg and maximum capable speeds of 190Km/h 
The largest available size is 185/60R14 82H with maximum load of 475Kg and maximum capable speeds of 210Km/h 








The M3's Competitive Edge

So why Synergy M3? when there is so much more to choose from. In respect to Silverstone, below would be Synergy M3s' data and claims.


The Result shows that for a normal and equivalent size tyre had a higher rolling resistance, which meant that more power is required from the engine to turn each wheels, but with M3 installed, rolling resistance dropped and in theory fuel efficiency had increased to 6.2%



During the vulcanization process, Silverstones' engineers managed to come up with an innovative steel mesh design as well as the compression chamber during the forming process, which in result helps catalyst the optimization of radial and lateral compression of tyre structure, thus creates a lightweight but durable tyre. 




Due to most of the noted factors above, Synergy M3 possess pliant sidewalls that aided the absorbency of unwanted random lateral movement due to road irregularities, thus diminishes motion triggered sickness.








To further increase grip factor between the contacting surfaces of Synergy M3 with the road pavement and to reduce rolling resistance, Silverstone utilizes their specially formulated rubber compound with their very own unique blend of polymer





by claim, Synergy M3 provides better and soothing ride, although it may look ordinary, but M3's tread pattern is deliberately designed to minimize energy loss due to shuffling of tread pattern elements during service.

Continental ContiSportContact 5 CSC5










Continental had a wide range of tyres for selection based on the driver’s experience, daily driving environment, also not to mention is the type of car used.  Just recently Continental strut its best and unveils the latest tread pattern for those adventurous drivers. Introducing, Continental’s latest tread pattern upgrade, ContiSportContact 5 (CSC5). What’s new here is that Continental included one of their best kept secret silicon compound as one of the major contributor of material in make.

Black Chili Compound

The oddly named Black Chili Compound was first introduced for off-road bicycle application. After continuous testing and research, Continental decided that it’s time to replace the previous silicon compound called Activated Silica (ASC) used for manufacturing passenger car tyres and even some range of light truck vehicles, with Black Chili Compound. Based on Continental’s claim, if compared both of the mentioned compounds, Black Chili offers a 26% lower rolling resistance, a 30% increase in adhesion quality, and a 5% increase in tread life. 

By introducing Black Chili Compound into CSC 5, braking distance for vehicle fitted with CSC 5 were drastically reduced as in the event of braking, CSC 5 generates high natural frequency within the Black Chili Compound, the short-chain polymers that made up Black Chili compound react to this braking frequency and thus provide optimal energy absorption. The resulting heat shortens the braking distance on wet and dry roads.

Coupled with large surface area, braking efficiency also increase dramatically as large surface of the tread is constantly in contact with the road thus generates higher surface friction for braking. Black Chili Compound also increase fuel efficiency, because most of CSC 5 is made up of the light weight Black Chili Compound, thus engine could perform at its optimum performance, as most of the torque generated was effectively transferred to the light weight wheel and not used to overcome the inertia of a higher mass wheel. 


























The physical Attributes of 215/45 R 17 CSC 5

91 = Maximum load of 615KG
W = Capable of handle up to 270KM/h
XL = Can hold for Extra Load
FR = with flange rib ( Rim Protection)

Continental ContiComfortContact CC5


During the wee month of  March 2011, Continental introduces the latest pattern upgrade for one of its continuous production tyre model which is the ContiComfortContact or CC for short. The ideally name ContiComfortContact 5 (CC5) was the result of countless man hour invested for its research and development stage. During its testing stage, Continental claims that CC5 did not only excel beyond all expectations but also proven the effectiveness of Advanced Silica Compound Technology which was a compound engineered entirely by Continental’s Materials Engineering Department. Advanced Silica Compound Technology by its essence is a lightweight and durable compound that promises better millage as tyres with less weight aid better vehicle acceleration, lowers fuel consumptions, boosts engine power by maximizing the available engine torque output and more importantly, increases the vehicle stopping capability.



The Highlighted points shown on the picture represented the innovative feature on all Continental's tyre tread pattern, called the Noise Breaker, which engineered from Conti Silent Tread Pattern Groove Technology. The Noise Breaker reduces noise by degrading air waves in longitudinal grooves which is generated by the friction between the contact surface of the tyre against the asphalt or any paved roads


The highlighted shows the
V-Shaped Siped inner ribs, which in effect, smooths the tyre rolling throughout the tyre circumferential. The benefit from this pattern is enhancing optimum driving comfort topped with optimum safety performance.





CC5 is best suited for drivers who wanted more safety for a reasonable price. With all these added beneficial properties, surely CC5 could out perform any of its predecessors. Well judging by the tests conducted by Continental, CC5 shows significant improvement, in percentage we can see that;

  • Noise Generation was down by a whopping 10%
  • Comfort was increased by 7%
  • Rolling Resistance was increased by 9%
  • Dry and wet performance increased by 3% and 1% respectively



So, when its time for a change, why not give CC5 a thought? and not to mention, it is reasonably priced

Based on Continental's web database, we have compiled the most suitable truck tyre pattern based on the truck's application, environment and the constant abuses the truck endures for every working day.

HSR 2


Standard Road Application: Highway, Intercity link road.


Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steer, Drive, Trailer


Standard Truck Compatibility: Freight Containers




This particular pattern HSR 2 is most suitable for logistics measures that emphasis on stability or smooth handling as to cater for volatile goods. With wider tread pattern, even handling and maneuvering a 18 wheeler is similar to a normal passenger car.


HDR 2





Standard Road Application:   Highway, Intercity link road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Drive axle 

Standard Truck Compatibility: Freight Containers/Cargoes 




For this pattern HDR 2 is most suitable for logistics measures that emphasis on stability or smooth handling as to cater for volatile goods. It's rugged design in tread pattern, is deliberately made to be last longer and creates even more vital grip.

HSR M
Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steering / Drive / Trailer

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
General Freight Containers/Cargoes



When it comes to HSR M it's relative design of 3 grooves technology offers higher tread volume thus increases it's life span which in return becomes better mileage and lower cost as due to lower fuel cost and frequency of changing for a brand new tyres.


HTR

Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Steering / Drive / Trailer

Standard Truck Compatibility: 
General Freight Containers/Cargoes

For HTR it's actually quite similar if compared to HSR M, but the difference begin with HTR's pattern  design that the wide tread area and wide shoulder ribs reduce the wear under high lateral forces occurring on trailer axles..


HDC
Standard Road Application:   
Highway, Intercity link road, Off Road.

Standard Truck Positioning: 
Drive axle
