The creation of the Kleber Krisalp 3 tire was handled by specialists from the Michelin company, which today owns this well-known French brand. In doing so, they took into account the climatic characteristics of Central and Western European countries, which was reflected in certain operational characteristics. This model is distinguished by its increased traction on rolled snow and ice, which is also relevant in our country, where such road conditions are more the norm than the exception.
Multiple transverse lamellas
Most of the traction edges that the contact patch of this tire has are formed by numerous lamellas. At the same time, they are located at a direct or slight angle to the direction of movement. It is this feature that explains the very high longitudinal traction and braking efficiency that this tire demonstrates on rolled snow and ice.
Increased maneuverability stability
If the tread elements in the central part are small in size, then those in the shoulder areas are massive. This is due to their functional purpose - ensuring maximum stability during maneuvering. In addition, the massive transverse blocks in the shoulder areas significantly reduce the risk of uneven tread wear, which significantly increases the lifespan of the tire.
Key features of the Kleber Krisalp 3 tire
- the increased number of traction edges due to the numerous lamellas allows the tire to demonstrate reliable traction on ice and rolled snow;
- confident behavior at high speeds due to the wide longitudinal rib in the center;
- wide blocks in the shoulder areas improve braking efficiency, prevent skidding during maneuvers and turns;
- the small size has allowed the number of blocks in the central part to be increased, which has had a positive effect on traction on snow and mud.
