Product description & features

This tyre boasts a directional tread pattern with four circumferential grooves. This breaks from the solid V-shaped tread blocks traditionally seen on most directional tyres to increase stability and grip in wintery conditions.

Its rubber compound has a high silica content, keeping the tyre supple enough to key into the road – even on snow and ice. In motion, the directional pattern creates a natural gravity pushing any water out from between the tyre and the road. This results a higher resistance to aquaplaning as the diamond-shaped tread blocks dig through the water to the road surface, creating a better contact patch between tyre and road. High arching sipes surround the directional tread pattern and seem to sweep over each shoulder tapering along the sidewall to help the tyre’s cornering and stability.

Overall, an excellent tyre in any weather, quiet, durable with great handling and traction.

Winter Tyres

What are winter tyres?

Winter tyres have been developed to perform best during the colder winter months - when the outside temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius.

How can I tell a winter tyre is suitable for winter weather?

The tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:

Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake

This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.

How does a winter tyre perform better in winter?

The compound of a winter tyre contains a higher natural rubber content - helping the tyre to remain flexible in freezing weather and conform to the road surface.

The grooves of winter tyres are typically wider to channel snow and water. The latest generation also have smaller shoulder grooves to improve snow and ice traction.

Can I use winter tyres all year round?

Although winter tyres can be used in other conditions, their performance will not be as efficient as they have been optimised to perform in temperatures under 7°C.

There is also a risk of a winter tyre’s wear rates increasing when drive on in warm temperatures, due to the high silica and natural rubber compound.

We recommend that winter tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
