Landsail Ice Star IS33 215/55 R16 97T XL

The Landsail Ice Star IS33 passenger tire is one of the debut winter models from the well-known Chinese manufacturer. It is characterized by confident behavior on any slippery surface. The tire features modern technological solutions that provide excellent operational properties for its price category.

Porous Rubber Compound

The tire's tread is made from a high-tech compound with several unique properties. These are provided by the porous structure of the rubber compound, which contains numerous microscopic voids. When in contact with the road surface, they capture and retain moisture from the surface, thus drying the contact patch. This significantly improves traction properties in rainy conditions and on ice. Additionally, the porous structure of the compound substantially increases the elasticity of the tread at low temperatures, allowing the tire to retain its characteristics even in severe frost.

Confident Behavior in Complex Road Conditions

The tire is characterized by confident behavior in complex road conditions. This is largely due to the high performance of the drainage system. Most of its elements are arranged transversely, at an angle. This design allows the rotation of the wheel to be used to divert water and slush from the contact patch. As a result, high resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning is ensured.

Bidirectional Lamellae

The tire's tread contains a large number of lamellae. Narrow slots are arranged at a distance of a few millimeters from each other, providing the contact patch with a multitude of sharp and high edges. Their effectiveness is significantly increased due to the bidirectional arrangement. This solution is most noticeable in terms of handling and traction when driving on wet and icy roads. If necessary, these properties can be enhanced with the help of studs. The manufacturer has provided special places on the tread for their installation.
