The RoadX RXFROST WU01 is a studless winter tire engineered to tackle Canadian climates. The multi siped asymmetrical tread is purposely channelled to increase traction and decrease braking distance, providing greater grip on ice and snow. Maximum contact patch allows more rubber on the road, ultimately enhancing traction and handling in cold temperatures. The RoadX RXFROST WU01 has earned the 3 Peak Mountain Snowflake Certified designation, while gaining Canadians confidence and trust in severe winter conditions.
Proprietary winter rubber compounds are engineered to stay flexible in freezing temperatures that contribute to superior winter traction and handling.
Asymmetrical tread design with V channel and circumferential grooves, evacuate snow and slush providing excellent traction.
Fully siped tread blocks enhance traction on snow and ice covered roads.
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.
