The Lassa Competus Winter 2 winter tire is designed for crossovers and SUVs. It belongs to the HT category, which is why it demonstrates its most significant advantages on asphalt roads. These include traction properties on icy surfaces, despite the absence of studs.
Effective drainage system in any conditions
A distinctive feature of the tire is its high resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning. This is ensured by the effective operation of the drainage system. It consists of many elements, each of which performs certain functions. Peripheral and cruciform grooves accelerate the process of water removal, and the Z-shaped form of their walls ensures the retention of snow, thereby improving traction. During thawing, the snow-mud mixture is effectively removed through wide drainage grooves in the shoulder areas.
Reliable behavior on icy surfaces
In the absence of studs, the tire demonstrates good traction properties on ice. These are ensured by several thousand sharp edges formed by lamellas - narrow slits located a few millimeters apart. At the same time, their wavy shape limits the transverse mobility of the blocks, which improves the responsiveness of the steering and stability at high speeds.
Main features of the Lassa Competus Winter 2 model
- excellent resistance to aquaplaning and slushplaning is provided by a functional drainage system;
- increased density of lamellas improves traction on ice;
- excellent acoustic comfort thanks to the arrangement of blocks with an offset relative to each other and rounded corners;
- a short braking distance is provided by the transverse arrangement and large width of the shoulder blocks.
