The pattern is characterized by a V-shape design aimed to optimize snow performance in all driving directions(longitudinal an lateral) and evacuate water quickly from underneath of central tread area.
Latest Generation Multi-Lamellen Technology
The highnumeber of sipes, combined with large and frequent shoulder blocks, provides a maximum biting effect on winter roads, while maintaining the right balance of block stiffness for smooth handling and good wear performance.
Wide Water Evacuation Grooves
The add-on of 2 additional longitudinal grooves enhances resistance to slush hydroplaning, especially beneficial in case of wide size range, suchas standard SUV.
High Grip Nanoprotech Compound
A new rubber mixture, made with high concentration of Silica and our nanoscale compound, delivers a consistent grip across the whole tread pattern. The pattern is engineered to maximize winter grip in a variety of temperatures and surfaces.
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.
