The non-studded version of the Amtel Nordmaster ST winter tire is best suited for rural roads and areas where the risk of ice formation is extremely low. Among other advantages over the standard model, it is worth noting the much lower level of noise and vibrations, which maintains a high level of acoustic comfort.
The tread pattern, although it has a standard structure for tires in this category, has a number of original features. One of them is the unusual Z-shaped form of the blocks in the central part. It provides additional edges for traction. It is worth noting the arrangement of the blocks in the central part, where a wide double longitudinal rib is formed in the middle of the tread. This composite element reduces rolling resistance, increases stability when driving in a straight line, and when maneuvering - the speed and accuracy of response to steering.
The blocks located at the edges of the tread have a double structure, and in the side projection - a trapezoidal shape. Such elements are very resistant to the action of lateral acceleration forces, which gives the tire stability when maneuvering. The significant width of these elements, combined with their serrated edges, reduces the braking distance and increases the traction force on snow.
Main features:
- a double longitudinal rib in the middle made of Z-shaped blocks enhances traction and grip on snow, increases stability when driving in a straight line;
- paired edge blocks prevent lateral skidding, reduce braking distance:
- wavy lamellas and an elastic rubber compound at low temperatures enhance adhesion properties on ice.
