Delivers Powerful Performance on Snowy and Icy Roads
Key Performance
Improved Snow Handling and Braking
Improved Tread Wear
Sidewall 3D Shape for Enhanced Sidewall Stiffness
Improved Snow Handling and Braking
Better Braking - 3D Block Design. 3D block design in the center delivers improved block stiffness for greater handling stability in high-speed driving and better snow braking.
Improved Tread Wear
Special Compound for Low Heat & Higher Abrasion Resistance. Molecular weight control and the application of a low hysteresis polymer and highly dispersed carbon block prevent the compound from heating up. Long service life with compounds that provide excellent wear resistance. Optimized rubber mixing to improve wear resistance.
Sidewall 3D Shape for Enhanced Sidewall Stiffness
Optimized Design for Enhanced Sidewall Stiffness. Sidewall protection solid is applied on four spots to extend service life with excellent durability against external impacts such as curbs.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union, under CE 1222/2009, has mandated that all tyres manufactured after the date of July 1 2012 for cars and commercial vehicles include standard EU Tyre Labels classifying them by three performance characteristics:fuel efficiency classified from A to G,wet grip classified from A to G, and noise emission in decibels.
Categories of tyres unaffected by this regulation include: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing/sports car tyres, as well as certain types of tyres designed to improve traction such as studded tyres, T-type temporary spare tyres, tyres for cars built before 1990, tyres with a maximum allowed speed of 80km/h, tyres for rims with a diameter less or equal to 254 mm or greater or equal to 635 mm. This label is intended on one hand to promote economic and ecological efficiency in traffic, as well as increase road safety, and on the other hand to help consumers select appropriate tyres by ensuring a certain degree of product transparency.
Nevertheless, the label has been criticized for only showing a very limited number of characteristics. Professionals argue that tyres have many more features that are important and relevant to road safety, including but not limited to aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, product properties on wet and dry roads other than wet grip, properties on snow. Tyre manufacturers suggest that the test results from various institutions and industry magazines should remain a very important source of information for the end consumer, because they focus on and rate a wide variety of tyre properties and features.
