Mastercraft brand expands product range
Mastercraft, a subsidiary of Cooper , introduced two new models to the American market: the LSR Grand Touring All - Season Touring and the Courser CXT Premium All- Road Tournament . Recall that in the beginning of this year, the manufacturer announced the release of UHP-tires for off-road vehicles Courser Sport 100 , aimed at Chinese motorists.
Mastercraft LSR Grand Touring represents a class of luxury touring tires that are designed for year-round operation. The business card of the model is a long service life, driving comfort, reliable grip properties in all weather conditions, as well as a standard line covering a wide range of passenger cars.
On the outer side of the asymmetric tread of the Mastercraft LSR Grand Touring tires, there are elements of increased stiffness that contribute to increased controllability on the “dry land”, said Mastercraft Tires Reviews, a technical specialist . The inner side of the tire is “sharpened” for strengthening the grip with a wet road surface and snow.
Three-dimensional lamellar blocks tread provides optimal stiffness of the tire when making maneuvers. The flat profile of the model prevents uneven wear, and the lightweight internal design reduces rolling resistance, which reduces fuel costs.
Mastercraft LSR Grand Touring tires are available with 15–19 inches in diameter and T, H, V, W speed indices. The warranty mileage of the model, depending on the size, ranges from 80,000 to 130,000 km.
Mastercraft Courser CXT tires are targeted to owners of premium light truck pickups. They combine high grip properties and increased durability both on paved roads and off-road.
The all-season applicability of the Courser CXT is due to the presence of deep lamellae on the surface of large tread blocks and silica in the rubber compound. Their combined "efforts" increase traction on wet asphalt and snow.
The high coefficient of the negative tire profile contributes to the quick self-cleaning of the tread from stones and dirt, thus increasing the maneuverability on rough terrain and preventing uneven wear.
Cooper launches Mastercraft Glacier Trex new winter tires
Cooper Tire & Rubber Co. added new winter tires for passenger cars and crossovers to the assortment of the Mastercraft subsidiary brand. The novelty, named Mastercraft Glacier Trex , will be available to consumers in 35 sizes in August. Dealers may start placing orders as soon as possible.
Winter Mastercraft is designed to improve driving safety in the harshest weather conditions, and according to the manufacturer, it is characterized by excellent handling and fast braking on both snow and ice.
The directional symmetric tread pattern of Mastercraft Glacier Trex improves acceleration and deceleration on snowy roads, and also contributes to the rapid clearing of the contact patch from water and melting snow, said technical expert Shina.Guide . Special "snow grooves" increase traction in the snow, and zigzag multifaceted slats improve grip and stability when maneuvering.
History of French cars
History of the French automotive industry.
According to statistics, France ranks third in Europe for the production of cars, which is largely due to their diversity, stylish design, good quality and affordable price. The history of the French automotive industry begins, perhaps, with the appearance in France in 1765. the first mechanical carriage of Z.Kyuno, moving at a speed of 9.5 km / h thanks to the steam engine and carrying up to 4 passengers. Thanks to the support and order of the military ministry, Cuño was able to present a steam car in 1796. A powerful oak frame on 3 wheels was the basis of the car. A boiler and a two-cylinder steam engine were attached to the front-wheel drive subframe. The weight of such a vehicle was equal to two tons, since, in addition to the weight of the machine itself, the supply of water and fuel was an additional 1 ton. Managed this machine 2 people. That was the beginning of the birth of the automotive industry in France. With the invention of the Nicholas-Augustus Otto model ICE and its further improvement by Gottlib Daimler, there was a powerful impetus to the development of the automotive industry in the world.
Pioneers of French engineering.
This company is the first to start producing cars in France. Originally, the factory of E.Levassor and Louis-Rene Panara produced woodworking machines and band saws, in 1889 they began to produce a two-cylinder engine, which was a licensed copy of Daimler and Benz. After 2 years, the company manufactured two crews, in which a Daimler engine was installed in the middle of
the body.Experimenting further with the layout of the car, it was decided to position the engine in front, which significantly increased the stability of the car. In 1891, the design of the car was invented, virtually unchanged after that for many decades: the front engine with rear-wheel drive. In 1892, the production of the first Panhard et Levassor cars began, which were produced until 1898, constantly being improved and modernized. The company's vehicles participated in motor rally many times and achieved excellent results. The production of cars in industrial scale began in 1898. Initially, cars were produced, the engine power of which was 0.75 hp, a little later - with a 1 hp engine. Before the war of 1939-1945 The company successfully produced cars of the highest class (Panhard Dynamic coupe). In the post-war years, the production of economy-class cars began, for example, front-wheel drive, with an aluminum body Panhard Dyna. Later, the company could not stand the competition from the more powerful concerns and in 1967 was absorbed by the concern Citroen.
