Based on the trend of "Safety above all", the Taiwanese company Federal has developed and introduced its latest winter tire: Himalaya WS2 SL. Tests of this tire have demonstrated its best qualities on any winter surface. It is worth noting that the tire is perfectly suited for North America, having passed all the necessary requirements of the SSS (Severe Snow Service) rating. In addition, the Federal Himalaya WS2 SL has M+S (Snow and Mud) designations.
The Federal Himalaya WS2 is capable of withstanding the most complex winter conditions and providing excellent performance and stability on snow, ice, and wet asphalt. Mosavtoshina guarantees that these tires can provide everything you expect from winter tires, and first and foremost, this concerns the safety standard.
The improved structure and composition of the tire's rubber compound have made it possible to provide the Taiwanese tire with the highest protection against aquaplaning, excellent handling, and an incredibly low noise level.
This tire model is manufactured in two different versions: studded (Federal Himalaya WS2) and non-studded (Federal Himalaya WS2 SL).
Features of the non-studded winter tire Federal Himalaya WS2 SL:
— The design of the drainage grooves of the Federal WS2 SL tire offers excellent traction on snow and ice. The tire is specially designed for comfortable driving on winter road surfaces;
— The directional tread pattern of the V-shaped form allows the tire to significantly increase its wear resistance;
— The tire's traction and handling were tested before production using computer simulators, which made it possible to achieve ideal results in a short time;
— The wide central tread block and drainage grooves effectively protect the tire from aquaplaning;
— The zig-zag-shaped tread blocks increase the tire's contact patch on snowy surfaces, which affects its traction.
