The King Meiler WINTER TACT 81 winter tire is particularly well-suited for compact passenger cars used primarily in cities and on highways around them. The model demonstrates reliable traction and handling properties on snowy and icy surfaces, predictable behavior in complex conditions, combined with fuel efficiency and extended service life.
The tread pattern is designed in an asymmetrical design, dividing it into functional zones. In particular, the inner side is distinguished by the presence of an increased number of blocks and grooves. The latter have a curved shape and are directed against the direction of movement. This significantly increases the intensity of water and slush discharge from under the tire, providing more reliable control in adverse weather conditions. The outer side of the tread consists of a massive solid longitudinal rib and large blocks on its very edge. These elements are responsible for stability and precision handling at high speeds, while preventing rapid tread wear. Among other features of the pattern, it is worth noting the presence of numerous lamellas, narrow slits that form sharpened serrated edges. They are located at different angles across, allowing the tire to demonstrate the ability to slow down intensively on any slippery surface.
Key features of King Meiler WINTER TACT 81:
- Asymmetrical tread pattern with functional zones provides balanced driving qualities;
- Numerous lamellas with serrated edges improve traction and braking properties on any slippery surface;
- Rubber compound with increased "silica" content maintains elasticity at an optimal level at temperatures significantly below zero degrees, enhancing grip on any winter roads;
- Optimized sidewall and tread profile improves traction and handling at high speeds, reduces fuel consumption, and prevents premature tire wear.
