Goodride SW658 265/70 R16 112R

The Goodride SW658 winter tire is one of the latest developments from a well-known Chinese manufacturer. Its latest novelty is designed for SUVs and crossovers that operate mainly in cities. Most of them are like that today, so it's hard to overestimate the relevance of this model, especially considering not only its attractive cost but also its very high technical characteristics. They are ensured through the use of the latest technologies and materials provided by foreign partners of the Chinese company during its development and production. Among them are world leaders in the tire industry.

Aggressive tread design

It's not hard to guess that this tire is designed for operation, first and foremost, on winter asphalt roads if you take a closer look at the features of its tread design. It contains a sufficient number of individual blocks spaced at a relatively small distance from each other. In combination with very long and strongly inclined drainage grooves, this gives the tire a very aggressive look.

Wide longitudinal rib in the center

One of the key features of the tread design of this tire is the longitudinal rib that runs exactly along its middle. This tread element is characterized by a very large width and continuity throughout its length. The combination of these factors gives the tire several characteristic features that turn into significant advantages when driving. First and foremost, this is stability and responsiveness, the accuracy of the tire's response to the driver's actions when performing maneuvers and turning. Additionally, the rigid wide rib in the center of the tread reduces rolling resistance, and by optimizing the distribution of pressure across the contact patch, it prevents the occurrence and development of uneven wear.

Double blocks

On both sides of the central longitudinal rib, there are two rows of independent blocks. Each of these two tread elements is connected by a rigid bridge. This solution also gives the tire stability, and in addition, improves traction at high speed, making it stable and reliable.

Open design of the shoulder zones

Each of the shoulder zones is a row of independent blocks arranged almost at a right angle and distinguished by massive sizes. In combination with the low-radius profile of the tire, such a design, on the one hand, improves the tire's performance during acceleration and braking, and on the other hand, its resistance to lateral skidding.

At the same time, it is impossible not to note the presence of numerous protrusions on the lateral surface of the shoulder zone blocks. On uncleared roads, they form additional traction edges, thanks to which the tire shows confidence when overcoming sections with deep snow cover.

Sine-shaped lamellas

The absence of studs did not prevent the specialists of the Asian company from providing the tire with good traction on a slippery road. This is achieved due to several thousand sharp edges that are formed when numerous lamellas come into contact with the road surface. At the same time, the sine-shaped form of their walls limits the mobility of the blocks, which increases their rigidity, and together with this, the handling on hard surfaces.

Effective drainage system

The fairly open design of the tread of this tire is beneficially distinguished by the presence of a large number of longitudinal and transverse drainage grooves. The latter are located at a strong angle against the direction of movement. In combination with a large internal volume, such an arrangement of drainage grooves significantly increases their throughput, and at the same time, resistance to aquaplaning and slash-planning.

Main features of the Goodride SW658 tire

- an aggressive V-shaped tread provides maximum traction on any winter roads;
- a rigid wide longitudinal rib of a continuous design in the center improves stability, gives the tire's reactions to steering wheel turns speed and accuracy, reduces fuel consumption, optimizes the distribution of external pressure across the contact patch;
- a flat tread profile expands the contact patch, giving it a practically square shape, which leads to a significant increase in traction properties;
- more than 5,000 traction edges formed by numerous sine-shaped lamellas provide stability and reliability of the tire's behavior on snow and ice;
- transverse drainage grooves located at a strong angle against the direction of movement allow you to move confidently in unfavorable road conditions.
