Vitour Tempesta Sonic PRE ORDER NOW AVAILABLE

Vitour Tempesta Sonic Tyre

The Vitour Tempesta Sonic is a road-legal 200TW track tyre developed for drivers chasing maximum dry grip, fast warm-up and outright lap time.

Designed for sprint racing, qualifying, time attack and serious trackday use, the Tempesta Sonic uses a racing-derived compound and motorsport-focused construction to deliver high levels of grip with minimal performance degradation across medium-length stints.

This makes it the more aggressive option within the Vitour Tempesta range for drivers prioritising track performance over road-biased versatility.

200TW Racing-Derived Compound

The Tempesta Sonic uses a 200 treadwear racing-derived compound designed for maximum road-legal track performance.

It is particularly well suited to:

• Time attack
• Sprint racing
• Qualifying sessions
• Serious trackday use
• Drivers chasing outright lap time

The compound is designed to reach operating temperature quickly while maintaining strong performance through medium-length sessions.

Fast Heat-Up

One of the key characteristics of the Tempesta Sonic is its fast warm-up.

This makes it particularly suitable for applications where peak performance needs to be available quickly, including:

• Time attack
• Qualifying
• Sprint sessions
• Shorter track sessions
• Competition use

Slick-Style Shoulder

The Tempesta Sonic uses a slick-style shoulder design intended to increase dry handling stability and lateral grip during aggressive cornering.

This makes it particularly suited to cars running:

• Aggressive track geometry
• Higher cornering loads
• Performance suspension
• High-grip circuit setups

Aramid-Reinforced Sidewall

Vitour uses an aramid-reinforced sidewall construction on the Tempesta Sonic.

This motorsport-derived design is intended to provide:

• Direct steering response
• Improved sidewall stability
• Consistent behaviour under load
• Better temperature stability

Heat Management Grooves

The Tempesta Sonic also incorporates heat-management grooves designed to help dissipate heat and maintain more stable tyre temperatures during hard use.

This helps support more consistent performance throughout a session.

Road Legal

Despite its highly track-focused design, the Tempesta Sonic is homologated for road use.

This gives track-focused drivers the flexibility to use the same tyre for travelling to and from the circuit while still benefiting from a much more competition-oriented tyre once on track.

Best Suited To

Professional Tyre Fitting Recommended

Professional fitting and balancing are recommended.

For track-focused applications, tyre pressures and alignment should also be configured around the vehicle, tyre size and intended use.
