Ikon Autograph Snow 5 SUV 285/60 R18 116R

For crossovers, SUVs, and pickups whose mass and center of gravity impose special safety requirements, Ikon presents the Autograph Snow 5 SUV — the result of a synthesis of materials science and precise computer simulation. This is not just a "winter tire," but a comprehensive traction system designed for full control on the move.

V-shaped architecture with a solid central rib

At its core is a directional tread pattern of the "Scandinavian" type. Its key feature is a massive, uninterrupted central rib of stiffness. This design solves two critical problems: it provides an instant response to steering and creates a powerful force framework that counteracts deformations during cornering. The result is predictable behavior and steering precision characteristic of sports models, but adapted to the weight and dimensions of an SUV.

Active traction system: 3D-lamellas with a "blade" effect

Each tread block is permeated with a network of three-dimensional lamellas with variable wall geometry. When in contact with the surface, they "open up," creating numerous microscopic cutting edges. Laboratory and test track tests confirm the increase in dynamics.

Power platform for off-road: extended shoulder blocks

To overcome deep snow and maintain traction, lateral grip is critical. Extended shoulder blocks that extend to the sidewall form a developed "blade-like" structure. They work like caterpillar tracks, effectively throwing off loose mass and finding a point of support. During cornering, these same elements perform the role of an external support, stabilizing the tilting vehicle and maintaining the trajectory.

High-speed drainage

A branched network of diagonal grooves forms a system of forced water and slush removal. Engineers have optimized the hydrodynamics of the flow, minimizing the risk of aquaplaning even with high residual tread wear. The contact area remains dry, which preserves the tire's grip properties on wet asphalt in late autumn and early spring.

Nano-compound with shape memory

The heart of the tire is a winter silicon-organic compound of the latest generation. Due to the inclusion of highly dispersed silicone additives and modified polymers, it was possible to form "long" molecular chains that maintain flexibility at temperatures down to -40°C. This provides not just "softness," but elastic deformation with instantaneous shape recovery. The tire perfectly hugs the road's micro-profile, rather than stiffening like a "column." An additional bonus is increased resistance to wear, which increases the inter-seasonal resource.

Key features of Ikon Autograph Snow 5 SUV:

- a solid central rib and a stiff block frame eliminate "wobbling" and delays in handling characteristic of many winter tires in the SUV class;
- improved braking properties on winter roads, directly affecting safety;
- efficiency in deep snow due to developed shoulder blocks does not reduce confident behavior on wet and cold asphalt;
- the compound works in extreme cold not due to excessive softness (which leads to rapid wear), but due to a complex polymer architecture.
