The winter studded tire Marshal WinterCraft Ice Wi31 is a fully identical copy of the same-named model from Kumho, one of the most anticipated new products on the markets of many countries. Judging by the results of independent tests, the South Korean tire manufacturers were able to create a very competitive product. Thanks to the presence of the Marshal name on the sidewall of the tire, domestic car enthusiasts have the opportunity to purchase it at a more attractive cost.
AIMC Technology
Most of the improvements compared to the KW22 model, which was replaced by the Marshal Wintercraft Ice WI31, were ensured by the compound. At the same time, the South Korean tire manufacturers optimized not only its composition but also the technology of its production, which received the name AIMC (Artificial Intelligence Mixing Control). The essence of the innovation lies in ensuring the uniformity of the rubber mixture, which on the road is realized in the form of stability and reliability of traction properties.
Honeycomb 3D Sipe
This term hides nothing but the design of the sipes, cut into almost all tread blocks. We are talking about a three-dimensional profile of their walls, which by its external appearance resembles a honeycomb. This allows the sipes to be fixed in an open position when they come into contact with the road, while limiting the longitudinal and transverse movement of the blocks. In combination with the unidirectional arrangement of the sipes, this design feature provides the tire with excellent traction.
Key Features of the Marshal Wintercraft Ice WI31 Tire
- optimized rubber compound gives the tire stable and reliable traction properties;
- "winter" V-shaped tread pattern provides good directional stability and ease of handling;
- numerous sipes with walls in the shape of a honeycomb improve traction and handling on packed snow and ice.
