Are low-rolling-resistance tyres safe in wet conditions?

A well-engineered low-rolling-resistance tyre must maintain adequate wet braking and handling rather than focusing only on efficiency.

Reducing energy loss can create technical trade-offs involving grip and wear. Tyre engineers address these trade-offs through compound development, tread design, structural simulation and vehicle testing.

For the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, Giti states that the GitiSynergy H2 compound was developed to reduce rolling resistance without compromising wear, wet and dry braking, or handling. For the BMW iX1 and iX2, the GitiSynergy H3 achieved an EU A rating for rolling resistance while meeting BMW Group’s handling requirements. Volkswagen ID. Buzz engineering, BMW iX1 and iX2 engineering
