The Armstrong BLU-TRAC HP2 195/55 R16 is a performance-focused passenger tyre intended for compact and medium-sized hatchbacks and sedans approved for this tyre size. Its asymmetric tread layout is designed to provide confident dry-road handling, controlled wet-road drainage and predictable steering response.
The inner tread zone supports water evacuation through connected grooves and multiple gripping edges. The outer tread zone is designed to maintain stronger road contact during cornering, lane changes and normal highway manoeuvres.
Variable-width tread grooves help balance wet-road drainage with dry-road stability, while the multi-pitch block sequence helps manage road noise by preventing all tread blocks from generating the same repetitive frequency.
Broader Contact and Balanced Response
The 195 mm tread width provides a broader contact area than narrower 16-inch alternatives, supporting braking stability, cornering control and straight-line confidence. The 55-profile sidewall maintains a useful balance between direct steering response and everyday cushioning.
This size suits drivers who want a composed performance character without moving to an excessively low-profile fitment. Correct inflation and wheel alignment remain essential for maintaining even wear across the wider tread.
The 195/55 R16 size should only be installed where approved by the vehicle manufacturer and where the required load index, speed rating, wheel width and clearance specifications are met.

Armstrong BLU-TRAC HP2 Tread Technology
Performance-oriented asymmetric tread. The BLU-TRAC HP2 uses different tread structures across its inner and outer zones. The inner area supports water evacuation and wet-road control, while the outer area provides additional road contact for steering grip and dry-road cornering.
Advanced tread compound. The tread compound is developed to maintain effective engagement between the tyre and the road across changing temperatures and surface conditions. This supports acceleration, braking and everyday road control.
Inner wet-performance zone. Grooves and gripping edges across the inner tread provide routes for water to move away from the contact patch. This helps the tyre maintain more consistent contact with wet road surfaces.
Outer dry-handling zone. The outer tread area uses more stable blocks to support steering response, cornering grip and directional control on dry roads.
Variable-width grooves. The tread uses grooves of different widths to balance water evacuation with tread-block stability. This allows the tread to support both wet-road drainage and dry-road handling.
Multi-pitch sequencing. The tread blocks use varied dimensions and spacing rather than repeating one identical sequence around the tyre. This helps break up repetitive road-contact frequencies and control tread-pattern noise.
Multiple tread edges. Grooves, block edges and smaller tread cuts create additional gripping surfaces that support traction and braking in wet and changing road conditions.
Stable road-contact footprint. The performance-oriented tread arrangement is designed to maintain predictable road contact during braking, steering and highway manoeuvres.
Radial passenger construction. The tyre uses radial construction suited to road-going passenger vehicles, combining tread stability with the flexibility required for everyday road use.
Tread-wear indicators. Moulded tread-wear bars provide a visible reference as the tread approaches its replacement limit. Tyres should also be inspected regularly for cuts, cracks, bulges, puncture damage and irregular wear.

Understanding Tyre Size 195/55 R16 / How to Read Tyre Size
Vehicles with 195/55 R16 Tyre Size
What does 195/55 R16 mean?
195/55 R16 is the tyre size.
195 is the maximum width of the tyre in milimetres(mm). When the vehicle is fully loaded its width can expand maximum upto 195 milimetres(mm).
55 is the ratio among width and height of the tyre from its rim. it means that the height of the tyre is precisely 55% of the 195mm. Lower ratio improves road grip, but it reduces comfort to some extent.
R – refers to the method the tyre is produced. The letter “R” is found on all modern car tyres. It indicates the radial structure of tyre cosntructed with steel wires.
16 represents the diameter of the rim. It is a measurement in inches(“). This number should be rememberd as it is the measurement of the rims. It has to match exactly to what is mentioned in the car manual.
