Passenger Tires
The ultimate “ICE” performance & Good stud retention
- The ultimate ICE performance
- Ice surface is the most dangerous condition in winter road.Brake on ICE is the most required performance.
- Good stud retention
- New stud model and optimum tread stiffness deliver good stud retention.
- The pursuit of SNOW & WET, DRY performance
- Feeling easy to drive on SNOW & ICE surface. And get more confidence at driving on WET, DRY(Bare-road) surface. Safety drive anytime in winter season.
- Pass the criteria of regulation (Road Wear)
- Regulation sets minimum requirement for road wear and external noise.New product is lower than the criteria of road wear limit without sacrificing ice performance.
Optimum
tread stiffness
Optimum
stud hole allocation
- Wide & spread centre rib
- Improve maneuverability and stability on ICE, SNOW, DRY
surface with its improved centre tread stiffness .
- 3D-shaped sipes
Micro Diagonal Grooves - Improve performance on ICE and SNOW surface with its maximized actual contact area under deflection and edge effect without loosing block stiffness.
- Polyhedral 3D-sipes
- Micro Diagonal Grooves
- 3D-shaped design
- To maximize the edge effect, 3D shaped detail design has installed. The projection around the stud hall also helps stud holding.
Windmill shaped projection
Digging shaped shoulder
Wide slanting grooves
- Semi-radial grooves
- Improve SNOW, SLUSH and WATER evacuation from the tread.
- Continuous lateral grooves
- Improve lateral stabilities such as turning and anti-sliding.
- New Stud model
Stud hole allocation - New stud model and optimum stud hole allocation helps improvement of ICE performance and less noise made with tread pattern and stud.
Star-shaped stud chip & flange design improve edge effect. It improves performance on ICE and good stud retention.
New mixing compound-1
- Water absorbing compound
- The original water absorbing compound technology same with IceGUARD studless tyre
Improves ICE performance.
- High Density rich reinforce Flexible Polymer
- Delivering optimum tread stiffness.
It stabilizes driving on DRY roads.
New mixing compound-2
- Silica
- Silica improves performance on SNOW and WET
- Silica
- Carbon
