The Goodyear Wintercommand SUV winter tire is designed for crossovers, SUVs, and pickups that are primarily driven on paved roads. The model was developed with the specific climate characteristics of Canada and Northern Europe in mind. It features improved traction properties at extremely low temperatures on snowy and icy surfaces, along with comfortable handling and a smooth, quiet ride on any road.
The tire stands out with its unique tread pattern design. It is one of the modern variations of the "signature" V-Tread with a characteristic arrangement of grooves directed against the direction of movement. These elements have a curved shape and an increasing width towards the edges of the tread, which further enhances the intensity of water and slush drainage from under the tire. Another notable feature of the pattern is the presence of a massive arrow-shaped rib exactly in its center. It increases directional stability and handling accuracy, making it easier to control the vehicle at high speeds. It's worth noting the presence of a significant number of 3D lamellas with sinusoidal edges, arranged at different angles to the direction of movement. Along with studs, these elements improve traction properties on the most slippery winter surfaces. They are significantly enhanced by a special compound that retains elasticity at extremely low temperatures.
Key features of Goodyear Wintercommand SUV:
- curved grooves directed against the direction of movement provide quick water and slush drainage from the contact patch;
- 3D lamellas with sinusoidal edges, arranged at different angles, improve traction and braking properties on any slippery surface;
- elongated high sidewalls of blocks at the edges of the tread provide excellent deep snow traction;
- special compound enhances traction properties at extremely low temperatures, retaining elasticity in such conditions
