Sir Chris Hoy impressed as packed schedule puts Protoura Sport to the test

6th August 2021

With motorsport season up and running and the Olympics getting underway, Sir Chris Hoy has been putting the miles in with appearances across the UK.

And thanks to Protoura Sport he has all the control he needs. The British cycling legend and Protoura Sport ambassador was one of the first people in the UK to have Davanti’s premium UHP tyres fitted to his vehicle. After a busy few months, they’re helping the six-time gold medallist enjoy driving more than ever.

“I’ve been really impressed with them so far,” he said. “There’s been a lot of events recently connected to cycling plus the start of the Prototype Cup so it feels like I’m always on the road!

“The Protoura Sport has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance and wear, they hold the road so securely in both dry and wet conditions. Even during heavy downpours they just keep hold of the road in a way that feels more reliable and predictable than other tyres.

“Their grip under braking also gives you plenty of confidence. I love driving, being in control and Protoura Sport gives you an incredible connection to the road, making the car feel at one with the driver.

“By combining that enhanced handling control with lightness of steering you just eat up miles, whether you’re heading up and down the motorway or exploring country lanes.”
