Snow Groove Design Technology:
Provides biting edges for snow and ice traction without reducing tread element stiffness. Capitalises on the higher traction characteristics of ‘snow on snow’ versus ‘snow on rubber’.
Silica Compound:
Improves wet and snow grip and maintains performance even at low temperatures.
High Performance:
Some versions are speed rated to 149mph (240km/h) to suit modern, high performance 4x4s.
Size Range:
New SUV studless design tyre developed specifically for European/Alpine winter conditions.
Severe Snow Symbol:
Approved for use in severe snow conditions.
Directional Tread Pattern:
Evacuates water from the contact area.
Central Rib:
For crisp responsive steering.
Directional Tread:
Modern directional tread for improved traction with low noise levels, featuring tread blocks with Lamellen siping improving traction and braking in the most severe winter conditions of snow and ice.
Enhanced Tread Compound:
Improves braking in wet and icy conditions*.
Severe Snow Symbol:
Marked with the severe snow symbol, the official rating for use in severe snow conditions.
S-Marked:
In line with new European legislation.
T-Speed Rated:
For speeds up to 118mph (190 Km/h), including extra load sizes where appropriate.
* Compared to Discoverer M+S
Offset Stud Pin Holes:
Provide enhanced stud retention while delivering optimum traction on ice.
High-Silica, Low Modulus Tread Compound:
Adds superior ice, slush and wet grip even in extreme, cold temperatures.
Patented Circumferential Snow-Groove Technology:
Enhances snow-on-snow grip capabilities.
132 Stud Count Utilising 12-Row Stud Pattern:
Provides superior grip capability when studded.
66 Tread Pitch Count:
Increases the number of biting edges for improved snow, ice and wet grip capability.
Directional Tread Design:
Improves snow acceleration and water evacuation.
Snow Groove Design Technology:
Provides biting edges for snow and ice traction without reducing tread element stiffness. Capitalises on the highest traction characteristics of ‘snow on snow’ versus ‘snow on rubber’.
D Square D2 Sipe Technology:
A dense ‘zig-zag’ sipe pattern further enhances winter performance while maintaining excellent wet traction. The sipes are deep to provide performance benefits throughout the life of the tyre.
Strategically Placed Stud Pin Holes:
Provide enhanced stud retention while delivering optimum traction on ice.
All-Terrain Design:
Allows the tyre to perform equally well on the road and off.
