Avon Ice touring ST 215/65 R15 96H

The Avon Ice Touring ST winter tire is designed for drivers who value predictability in vehicle handling in the harshest winter conditions. Developed for a wide range of passenger cars, this model demonstrates impeccable balance between precision handling on packed snow and reliable traction on icy roads.

The efficiency of the tire is ensured by its thoughtful design, where every element works for your safety. The model is equipped with an aggressive directional tread pattern, which operates on the principle of a plow. When rotating, it effectively "bites" into the snow slush and removes layers of snow and water from the contact patch through numerous wide channels. This provides fast self-cleaning and prevents the formation of a "snow wedge", maintaining constant contact with the surface.

The entire surface of the tread is covered with a dense network of lamellas (micro-cuts). They create thousands of sharp working edges that grip the smallest irregularities of ice and compacted snow. When loaded, for example, when braking, the lamellas "open up", enhancing the "claw" effect, which leads to a reduction in braking distance and resistance to skidding.
The secret to the tire's flexibility in severe frost lies in its special composition. The mixture, enriched with elastomers and highly dispersed silica, does not become "brittle" with a sharp drop in temperature. This allows the rubber to retain its elasticity, ensuring constant and dense contact with road surface irregularities.

Main features of Avon Ice Touring ST:
- directional tread and developed drainage system provide stable operation, both during snowfall and during thaw;
- abundance of lamellas and gripping edges guarantees confident braking on slippery and snowy surfaces;
- wide channels quickly remove water and slush from the contact zone, maintaining traction and reducing the risk of skidding;
- special rubber compound does not lose its properties even in severe frosts, providing reliable traction with the road at any temperature.
