Aurora W403

The manufacturer of the Aurora W403 winter tire is far more well-known than this brand. This model was developed by specialists from Hankook and is produced at its facility in South Korea. This fact largely explains the high technical characteristics of this model, as well as its excellent balance.

The possibility of improving traction on ice

This tire is offered for sale with a studded tread. At the same time, it has places for their installation. They are arranged in such a way that when there are studs, six continuous rows are formed from them. This makes it possible to significantly improve the coupling properties on ice and rolled snow.

However, even without studs, this model shows decent performance on slippery surfaces. It is provided due to several thousand small coupling edges formed by numerous lamellas arranged in different directions. This feature gives the tire confident behavior in any driving mode and road conditions.

Solid arrow-shaped rib in the center

A significant part of the advantages of this tire is provided due to the multifunctionality of the central tread rib. This element has a solid arrow-shaped structure, which improves several operational properties at once. Increased stiffness, massive size, and lack of interruptions allow this rib to provide directional stability and handling agility, reduce rolling resistance, and prevent uneven wear. In turn, its arrow-shaped form improves longitudinal traction characteristics.

Main features of Aurora W403

- several thousand coupling edges formed by lamellas improve traction on ice and rolled snow, which can be further enhanced by installing studs;
- the arrow-shaped central tread rib increases stability and handling agility at high speed, and due to numerous coupling edges - longitudinal traction characteristics;
- a directed V-shaped pattern with numerous drainage grooves directed against the direction of movement is distinguished by increased resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning.
