The winter studded tire Effiplus Iceking was specifically designed for the countries of Northern Europe and Canada, taking into account the specific operating conditions in winter. Like most other models of this Chinese brand, this model was created with the help of foreign specialists. As a result, a tire was obtained, the low cost of which is surprisingly combined with excellent characteristics on any winter surface. In addition, it is impossible not to note the excellent applicability of this model, which is offered in only 9 sizes, however, each of them is extremely popular.
Soft-Touch rubber compound
One of the innovations of this novelty can be considered a rubber compound that has received a whole range of new components, including silica. It is largely due to this that the tire demonstrates an exceptionally soft ride even at very low ambient temperatures. At the same time, increased elasticity in no way affected the wear resistance. Thanks to the increased silica content, the tread copes perfectly even with abrasive wear, which significantly expands the scope of application of this tire.
Easy-Out shoulder areas
During the presentation of the Effiplus Iceking tire, the manufacturer's representatives particularly noted the excellent passability. At the same time, this ability was not limited to snow, but also to mud. Such confidence is quite justified, given the design features of the shoulder areas of the tread. They are represented by two rows of massive and very high blocks with curved edges, located in the transverse direction. When driving on complex sections, these tread elements temporarily become ground hooks, effectively gripping even unstable and loose soils, thereby ensuring confident behavior in such difficult conditions.
Centipede Feet lamination technology
In addition to the studs, the tread pattern of this model has zigzag-shaped lamellas. Thanks to the curved profile of the walls, the Chinese tire makers were able to significantly increase their number, reaching 40,000. As a result, the contact patch at any moment of time and regardless of the characteristics of the road surface and driving mode has a huge number of engagement edges. By the way, it is the number of lamellas that allowed us to name this technology Centipede Feet, which translates from English as "centipede legs".
Main features of Effiplus Iceking
- the original tread pattern with a V-shaped symmetrical arrangement of elements provides excellent traction and coupling characteristics on any winter surface;
- massive arrow-shaped blocks of the central longitudinal rib allow you to move confidently on winter roads without the risk of losing directional stability;
- Easy-Out shoulder areas allow you to move confidently, both on snow and on mud;
- about a hundred steel studs and more than 40,000 zigzag-shaped lamellas, due to which the tire demonstrates excellent coupling on icy roads;
- soft ride even at very low ambient temperatures, excellent resistance to wear, thanks to the Soft-Touch rubber compound optimized for operation in winter conditions.
