Pergea 08RS TW160 Semi-Slick Tire

The Valino Pergea 08RS is a semi-slick tire meticulously engineered by Valino, a Japanese company with a strong reputation in motorsports, particularly drifting. This summer tire features a 245/40R17 size and a treadwear rating of TW160, indicating a softer compound focused on maximum adhesion. The Pergea range, to which the 08RS belongs, is known for its high grip capabilities. Valino specifically recommends a cold pressure of 2 bars for these tires, noting that their grip remains relatively constant across different pressures, providing consistent performance as the tires heat up. The usable pressure range is between 1 bar minimum and 3.8 bars maximum. Valino emphasizes that their tires, including the Pergea 08RS, are designed and optimized for drifting but are also approved for road legal use in Europe (ECE approved). This makes them a versatile choice for enthusiasts who participate in track days and also use their vehicles on public roads.
