New Lamella crystal water absorbing tread compounding technology increases friction by removing water on ice surface. Special silica based tread compounds keep tread flexible in low temperatures. T-Mode (TM) Technology allows larger, high-density, wave-style sipes to improve lateral traction. Microbit Technology embeds thousands of hard walnut shell microbits in the tread that improves traction and braking.
Performance on Ice.
Silica based tread compounds keep tread flexible in low temperatures. Saw-toothed block shape tread results in improved braking and acceleration on snow. Larger, deeper wave-style siping in tread blocks and on shoulders increases snow traction. V-Shaped unidirectional tread design improves grip and starting traction.
Performance on Snow.
Modern V-shaped unidirectional tread design helps assure stability. Wide tread profile design contributes to better wet and dry traction. Square and round twin shoulder design increases the edge effect without compromising handling or steering response in wet or dry conditions. Two full-width steel belts help stabilize the tread for improved handling, traction and treadlife.
Wet and Dry Handling.
Unidirectional tread design has an optimized block arrangement that assures a smooth, quiet ride. A strong polyester casing provides structural strength while maintaining flexibility for a smooth ride. T-Mode (TM) Technology optimizes casing design for the perfect blend of ride comfort and driving stability. Computer-optimized tread groove and angle configuration reduces vibration.
