The winter model Austone Glacia Snow is designed by a well-known Chinese brand for use on a wide range of passenger cars, including in conditions of dense urban traffic. The friction tire has become one of the latest developments of the company, which combines advanced technological solutions and high-quality materials. This approach has made it possible to increase the efficiency of traction on winter roads, while reducing the overall weight of the tire.
Tread and Construction
The tread design is made in the classic directional style with a clearly defined symmetry. Compact blocks form a V-shaped pattern with an open configuration of the shoulder zones, which provides effective snow and mud removal, maintaining an optimal state of the contact surface.
In the central part, there is a solid zigzag element responsible for the precise response to steering commands and improved maneuverability. The blocks of the middle and shoulder zones with a developed system of transverse lamellas create a multitude of sharp edges of engagement. This enhances the retention of the contact patch on snowy and icy roads, increasing stability and safety of movement.
Rubber Compound
A special winter compound is used in the design, which retains elasticity over a wide temperature range. This was achieved through the inclusion of silicon dioxide and polymer additives. Such adaptability supports the stability of the tread's working properties throughout the entire cold season and prevents the loss of traction even in conditions of severe frosts.
Key Features of Austone Glacia Snow:
- universality — compatible with most passenger cars;
- developed drainage system — effectively prevents hydroplaning and slushplaning;
- optimized edge effect — reliable traction on ice and compacted snow;
- adaptive compound — retains elasticity and working characteristics at any winter temperatures.
