Asymmetric pattern design for winter tire The high saturation pattern on the outside ensures the handling performance of the tire;the wide grooves in the inside ensure the drainage performance of the tire and prevent sideslip.
Zigzag longitudinal pattern groove on both sides The zigzag groove design establishes a meshing effect between the tire and the snow surface, constantly pressing and displacing snow, and improving the stability of driving on snow. According to the width of the driving surface, the reasonable layout of 3-4 pattern longitudinal wide pattern groove efficient drainage, mud and snow, greatly improve the tire skid performance. At the same time, the segmented longitudinal continuous ribs provide excellent handling performance.
3D zigzag steel sheet design and optimized distribution Inside: high-density steel sheet distribution to achieve the best traction/braking performance on snow and ice road; Outside: relatively low density steel sheet distribution to maintain excellent handling performance
New Formulation design with silica The tire using new formula design with silica makes the rubber still maintain viscoelastic properties even in -30°C to -40°C, and it can better fit the road, increase the tire contact area and the friction coefficient between the tread and the ice surface, so makes driving safer in winter when it rains and snows.
EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes
The European Union has introduced the EU Tyre Label by Regulation (No. 1222/2009) identically and bindingly for all EU member states. It applies to passenger car tyres, light commercial vehicle tyres and heavy commercial vehicle tyres produced after 01.07.2012.
Three different areas are tested: rolling resistance, wet grip and the rolling noise the tyre makes on the road.
The following are not affected by the EU Tyre Label: retreaded tyres, professional off-road tyres, racing tyres, tyres with additional devices to improve traction such as spiked tyres, T-type emergency tyres, special tyres for fitting to vehicles first registered before 1 October 1990, tyres with a maximum authorised speed of 80 km/h, tyres for rims with a nominal diameter of 254 mm or less or 635 mm or more.
With this regulation, the European Union is pursuing the goal of promoting economic and ecological efficiency in road traffic as well as increasing road safety on the one hand, and on the other hand, granting consumers more product transparency and at the same time serving as an active decision-making aid.
Already during the incorporation, experts criticise the fact that the EU Tyre Label unfortunately only shows a few product characteristics. Apart from rolling resistance, wet grip and rolling noise, which are the main focus of EU tyre labelling, tyres have much more important and safety-relevant product characteristics, such as aquaplaning properties, driving stability, service life, braking properties on dry and wet roads, behaviour in wintry conditions, etc.
Tyre manufacturers point out that test results from various institutions and journals remain an important information medium for the end consumer. These tests usually focus on further safety-relevant product characteristics besides the EU standard qualifications for tyre labelling, which are always important for the final customer.
