The Ceat Artic 3 winter passenger tire, despite the brand's extremely low recognition and low cost, has quite decent operational characteristics. This model is beneficially distinguished, first of all, by excellent traction properties on any winter surface, increased tread depth, as well as fairly good fuel economy indicators.
Increased number of traction edges
One of the characteristic features of this model is the symmetrical directional tread pattern, which contains a countless number of traction edges. At the same time, most of them are formed not by blocks, but by lamellas, many of which are located not only transversely, but also longitudinally. Thanks to this, the tire has excellent traction properties not only on snow, but also on ice, which fully compensates for the lack of spikes.
Excellent course stability
This model is equipped with a symmetrical directional tread pattern with an original V-shaped design. It is formed due to the shape and location of the arrow-shaped blocks located in its central part. Thanks to the large number of sufficiently long diagonal traction edges, this tire has excellent course stability and maneuverability. Also, one cannot fail to note the reduced rolling resistance, despite the presence of a significant number of traction edges.
Short braking distance on a slippery road
In turn, the shoulder areas of the tread contain a multitude of rectangular blocks, the long edges of which are located transversely relative to the direction of movement. In combination with their massive size, such a design provides the tire with excellent performance and stability during deceleration, even from high speed, which significantly reduces the length of the braking distance.
Main features of the Ceat Artic 3 tire
- increased content of traction edges, formed by separate blocks, as well as a multitude of longitudinal and transverse lamellas located on their surface, provides the tire with excellent traction on any winter surface;
- arrow-shaped blocks in the central part of the tread improve course stability, maneuverability, and fuel economy indicators;
- massive shoulder blocks of rectangular shape provide increased stability during maneuvering and cornering, as well as excellent performance during acceleration and braking, especially on slippery roads.
