The New GT Radial Champiro UHP1 Tire Delivers on Performance and Price

    NASHVILLE, TN, April 16, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The new GT Radial Champiro UHP1 is for consumers wanting a cost-competitive ultra-high performance tire that delivers head-turning cornering and stopping performance.

With 43 sizes targeted for North America (26 available now; more coming), the Champiro UHP1 fits a broad range of sports sedans, coupes and roadsters. A tire that provides summer ultra-high performance with the added flexibility of an M+S Rating, the Champiro UHP1 comes in:
- W- and V-speed-rated sizes
- 15 to 20-inch rim diameters
- 55 to 35 aspect ratios
- 195 to 255 mm section widths

The big pattern blocks on the tire shoulder grab your attention in the showroom and deliver on the road with superb cornering force. A tread formula featuring high Silica content also contributes to the tire's dry and wet handling.

An optimized pitch variance design reduces noise, while the four straight grooves in the tread help ensure water evacuation. The center rib design delivers straight line stability and crisp steering response.

"We're really pleased to be bringing the GT Radial Champiro UHP1 to the North American market," says GITI Tire Vice President of Sales Tom McNamara. "Our internal testing shows that it performs extremely well in comparison with some of the best-known brands out there. Drivers are going to love the combination of performance and price."
