Winter tire for passenger cars Nexen Eurowin 550 is positioned as a tourist model, perfectly suitable for use in long-distance travel. It is characterized by the stability of traction properties on snowy and icy surfaces, comfort of handling during maneuvering, fuel efficiency, and a long service life.
The tread pattern is distinguished by a "block" design, consisting of separate blocks. They are distributed in groups, thanks to which in the contact patch, virtually continuous V-shaped edges are formed. This allows the tire to demonstrate excellent traction and braking intensity on snow. The lamellas cut into each block with sinusoidal edges additionally strengthen and preserve them when driving on icy surfaces. It is worth noting the Z-shaped profile of the block walls, which allows the tread to capture and hold snow, providing even more reliable traction on winter roads. Another feature of the pattern is the composite longitudinal rib, which runs exactly along its middle. It increases the directional stability at high speed, significantly reducing rolling resistance.
Key features of Nexen Eurowin 550:
- a large number of blocks provides excellent traction and braking efficiency on snowy surfaces;
- lamellas with serrated edges improve tire performance on ice and wet surfaces;
- a composite longitudinal rib in the middle of the tread pattern increases directional stability at high speed, reducing wear and fuel consumption;
- a rubber compound with a high "silica" content improves traction properties on winter surfaces, preventing rapid tread wear.
