Headway HW505 255/45 R19 100H

The winter non-studded tire Headway HW505 is one of the latest developments of a well-known Chinese manufacturer. The novelty of the Chinese tire industry is designed for the widest range of modern passenger cars and crossovers. Excellent applicability is ensured due to a large number of sizes. Among other features of this model, it is worth noting the absence of studs, which is compensated by an increased number of gripping edges, as well as a traditionally very attractive price-quality ratio for Chinese tires.

Optimized tread pattern

One of the distinctive features of the Headway HW505 model is the V-shaped symmetrical directional tread pattern, developed with the help of foreign partners. It has a number of characteristic differences. First of all, it is the reduced number of longitudinal ribs, which is only four. This solution made it possible to improve a number of important characteristics - directional stability, maneuverability, and rolling resistance.

At the same time, each of the longitudinal ribs contains a significant number of gripping edges. They are formed not only by numerous blocks but also by cross-shaped lamellas, which are located predominantly transversely to the direction of movement. As a result, it was possible to maximize the improvement of traction and adhesion properties in the longitudinal direction.

Multifunctional drainage system

Since this model is designed for operation in winter, its drainage system must perform several tasks at once. In addition to draining water and meltwater from the contact patch, it provides increased traction on snow due to the presence of special cross-shaped grooves in the shoulder areas. During movement, they literally capture the snow and then compact it, which makes it possible to significantly improve the traction properties on snowy surfaces.

Main features of the Headway HW505 tire

- symmetrical directional tread pattern provides excellent traction properties on any winter surface;
- V-shaped arrangement of tread elements improves directional stability and braking efficiency, especially on slippery roads;
- excellent grip on snow and ice due to a large number of edges formed by numerous blocks and lamellas;
- large contact patch area due to the reduced number of longitudinal ribs, which is only four.
