Kapsen RW501 IceMax 175 R14C 99/98T

The Kapsen RW501 winter tire is designed with consideration for the harsh climatic conditions of countries whose territories are located north of the Arctic Circle. Even at extremely low temperatures, the tire is characterized by the reliability of its traction properties and directional stability.

The tread pattern features an open, non-directional design with a large number of blocks. In the central part, they have a triangular shape and are collected into a continuous longitudinal rib. This reduces rolling resistance, increases directional stability, and improves handling accuracy at high speeds. The remaining blocks are arranged in such a way that when the wheel rotates, elongated transverse edges are formed, which allow for the efficient implementation of traction and braking effort on snow. This property remains virtually unchanged even on icy surfaces, as the entire tread is literally dotted with 3D lamellas with different angles of inclination.

Key Features of Kapsen RW501

- the rib made of triangular blocks in the middle reduces rolling resistance and wear, increases directional stability and handling accuracy;
- elongated transverse edges at an angle increase traction properties on snow;
- the increased density of lamella arrangement provides more reliable grip on icy surfaces.
