One of the main advantages of the First Stop Winter 2 winter passenger tire is its very attractive price-to-quality ratio. The use of inexpensive but effective technical solutions in its design has given it sufficiently high operational properties, primarily good traction on any winter roads.
Small blocks of the central part of the First Stop Winter 2
A distinctive feature of the V-shaped tread pattern of this model is the design of the central part. It is characterized by the presence of a large number of small blocks of complex polygonal shape. Thanks to this, the contact patch has numerous gripping edges. Being oriented in different directions, they provide the First Stop Winter 2 tire with reliable traction, especially on snow.
High lamellization density
In addition to the blocks, a significant part of the gripping edges is formed by the opening of numerous lamellas cut into each of the tread elements. They demonstrate the greatest efficiency on rolled snow and ice. At the same time, it is high enough to completely offset the lack of studs on this tire.
Moreover, it is impossible not to note the wavy shape of the lamellas. It limits the mobility of the blocks, which made it possible to significantly increase the number of lamellas without compromising handling, and thus the number of gripping edges formed by them.
Multifunctional drainage grooves
The use of a tread pattern with a sufficiently open design has allowed developers to equip it with a branched drainage system. The drainage grooves that make up this system are multifunctional. Thanks to their significant size, they cope well with removing not only water but also more heavy snow masses from the contact patch.
In this regard, it is impossible not to note the presence of special cross-shaped grooves in the shoulder areas. When driving on snow, they increase traction with it by retaining part of it in the tread.
Key features:
- an increased number of gripping edges formed by numerous blocks and lamellas cut into them, provides the First Stop Winter 2 tire with excellent traction on any winter roads;
- an optimized V-shaped design gives the tire excellent stability and reliability on snow and ice;
- wide shoulder areas with an open design improve the efficiency of braking and stability when cornering.
