The Hemisphere Winter+ tire is installed on passenger vehicles used in winter conditions. The model provides a high level of safety on road surfaces covered with compacted snow, snow slush, ice, and more. The tire is distinguished by its high traction and towing properties in harsh weather conditions.
The tread pattern is a directed symmetric pattern - a standard type of tread design, the main purpose of which is to quickly and efficiently drain water, liquid mud, and snow mush from the contact patch area. Two ring-shaped wavy channels and a multitude of transverse-diagonal wide grooves, directed in the shape of a V, guarantee a reduction in the risk of slushplaning and hydroplaning, which improves traction properties.
The main emphasis on road grip comes from a continuous central rib with an uneven surface. Powerful blocks with intense lamination, when driving over any irregularity, repeat its shape and firmly contact with it. As a result, there is virtually no skidding during braking, skidding during turns, and slipping when driving in a straight line. In addition, the manageability of the tire is also at a high level.
The main features of Hemisphere Winter+
- reduction of the risk of slushplaning and hydroplaning due to a reliable drainage system;
- excellent traction characteristics due to large blocks with numerous lamellas;
- high manageability and safety of maneuvers, provided by reinforced shoulder areas of the tread.
