Maxxis Arctictrekker WP-05 175/70 R14 88T XL

The Maxxis Arctictrekker WP-05 winter tire is one of the novelties of the Asian manufacturer. The model is designed specifically for Northern European countries and Russia, and therefore demonstrates high efficiency during braking, excellent manageability on snowy and icy surfaces.

Two Tread Patterns

Depending on the size, the tire uses two tread patterns - with symmetrical or asymmetrical arrangement of elements. The most "advanced" is the second option. It is for this reason that it is used in versions with high speed indices.

Reliable Traction on Unplowed Roads

Both tread pattern options are distinguished by the presence of a large number of blocks and an increased depth. This allows the tire to demonstrate confident behavior on unplowed snowy roads.

Increased Number of Lames

The tire tread in all its versions has numerous lames. Their number has been increased thanks to the three-dimensional design of the walls of these elements. Under load, this feature allows the slits to remain open. At the same time, the blocks in which they are located are fixed in a stationary position, which has a positive effect on handling and stability of traction properties. In the tire with an asymmetrical tread, this feature is additionally enhanced by the presence of special lame blockers. Longitudinal slits allow limiting the mobility of the entire block at once. It is for this reason that they are located in the shoulder zones, which significantly increases stability and responsiveness when maneuvering.
