The Gislaved IceControl winter tire is designed for use primarily in regions with very cold climates. This model is structurally a copy of the extremely popular Continental ContiIceContact 2, from which a number of technical solutions were borrowed.
One of them was the tread pattern with an asymmetrical arrangement of elements. Some of them are combined into so-called "macro-blocks", component elements that, in particular, lengthen the edges formed by them. This significantly improves traction and adhesion on snow and wet surfaces. Another advantage of these elements is good handling and directional stability at high speeds, primarily on roads cleared of snow and ice. Another "borrowing" was the Ice Grip technology. First and foremost, these are "three-dimensional" lamellas and studs that provide stable traction on icy surfaces and snow smoothed to a mirror shine. It is substantially enhanced by the use of a rubber compound that remains elastic at extremely low temperatures.
Key features:
- the so-called "macro-blocks" provide a contact patch with elongated multidirectional traction edges, as well as increase its area;
- the Ice Grip technology, which includes "three-dimensional" lamellas and an increased number of studs with an optimized installation scheme, gives traction properties on icy surfaces high reliability;
- a special tread profile expands the contact patch, leveling the pressure across the road surface, which improves traction and makes it easier to control the trajectory of movement, especially when maneuvering
