Studdable Winter Performance: This tire is engineered for challenging winter conditions and offers the option to be studded (where legal in Canada) for significantly enhanced grip on ice and packed snow. It carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, indicating its certification for severe snow conditions.
Optimal Ice and Snow Grip: Features a unidirectional V-shaped tread pattern with a wide contact patch and square shoulder design. This maximizes the tire's grip on ice and snow, improving both braking and acceleration performance in slippery conditions.
Reinforced Stud Retention: Incorporates a nail hole protection design that strengthens the rigidity of the tread blocks around the stud holes. This helps prevent studs from loosening or the holes from tearing, ensuring the tire maintains its ice traction capabilities throughout its lifespan.
Balanced Performance for Comfort and Durability: The design balances strong winter traction with wear resistance, low rolling resistance, and noise reduction. It utilizes an AB composite pitch design (computer-arranged irregularly) to effectively reduce tire noise and enhance driving comfort for a classic, well-rounded winter tire.
