The all-season tire CST Medallion All Season ACP1 is designed for a wide range of passenger cars. Unlike most similar models from other brands, it is characterized by good traction properties on slippery winter roads.
The tire features a directional tread pattern with a V-shaped design. It is distinguished by the presence of two wide longitudinal grooves that separate the central part from the shoulder zones. They effectively combat both aquaplaning and splashplaning. The central part is characterized by small block sizes and their shape, which forms multiple V-shaped edges in the contact patch. This significantly increases the traction force and directional stability on snow, reduces rolling resistance and wear. The effectiveness on slippery icy surfaces is ensured by a large number of sinusoidal sipes. The "three-dimensional" profile of their vertical walls in such conditions increases the accuracy of handling and directional stability.
Key features:
- directional tread pattern with small blocks in the central part is effective on snow;
- sinusoidal sipes improve traction on icy and wet surfaces;
- enlarged blocks in the shoulder zones reduce the braking distance, increase stability during maneuvering, and prevent wear.
