The Firestone Winterhawk 4 winter tire for passenger cars is designed for operation in regions with truly cold climates. On any snowy and icy surfaces, it demonstrates reliable traction, ease of handling, and effective braking.
The tread pattern features a directional V-shaped arrangement of grooves. This design allows them to use the rotation of the wheel to drain water and its mixture with snow, which significantly increases the reliability of handling in unfavorable weather conditions. Another feature is the distribution of numerous blocks in groups, which creates very long traction edges. They increase traction and stability on snow. The "checkered" alternation of such composite elements increases course stability and handling precision not only on snowy but also on cleared roads.
