Formula Ice 185/60 R15 88T XL

In 2013, the well-known manufacturer Pirelli introduced a new studded tire, Formula Ice, to the market. This car tire, developed by the world-renowned Italian manufacturer, is specifically designed for countries in Northern Europe, which are characterized by extreme winter weather conditions. Therefore, the Formula Ice tire is ideal for the harsh conditions of the Russian winter and stands out for its optimal price-to-quality ratio. These tires are suitable for urban SUVs, as well as small and medium-sized passenger cars.

Aluminum studs

The use of aluminum studs in the Formula Ice tire, which weigh almost half as much as their steel counterparts, allows for increased vehicle stability on icy surfaces and significantly reduces the likelihood of stud loss. At the same time, the unique hexagonal stud design, combined with a reinforced base, provides improved road grip, ensuring excellent vehicle handling on ice and reducing stopping distance. And the reliable stud attachment significantly reduces the risk of stud loss while driving, increasing driving safety.

Improved stability on snowy and icy roads

The use of a solid central rib in the Formula Ice tire design provides excellent vehicle stability. Reliable traction on snowy surfaces is ensured by the high frequency of lamella arrangement, the presence of wide water-repellent grooves, which allow for rapid removal of moisture, slush, and dirt from the contact patch, thereby significantly reducing the risk of aquaplaning and increasing driving safety.

It is also worth noting that due to the use of special additives in the rubber used to manufacture these tires, they allow for a significant reduction in stopping distance on roads treated with special reagents that prevent icing.
