The Leao Winter Defender Grip passenger car winter tire is designed with the climate characteristics of northern regions in mind. It is distinguished by improved traction properties on any slippery surface, ease of handling, quiet and smooth ride.
The tread pattern is made in a directional design with a large number of V-shaped wide grooves. This arrangement allows for intense water and snow slush evacuation from the contact patch, providing excellent traction and braking properties, especially on snow. In the central part, the tread blocks partially overlap each other, which significantly reduces rolling resistance and noise, and prevents rapid tire wear. It is worth noting the use of 3D lamellas. Narrow slits with a "three-dimensional" profile of vertical walls increase the intensity of braking and acceleration on wet and icy surfaces, without compromising the comfortable handling characteristics.
Key Features of Leao Winter Defender Grip
- increased width and V-shaped arrangement of drainage grooves provide reliable handling in adverse weather conditions;
- 3D lamellas with serrated edges increase traction and braking intensity on wet and icy surfaces;
- the arrangement of blocks with partial overlap increases the contact patch, reduces noise, prevents rapid tread wear, and reduces rolling resistance
