When developing the Nexen N'PRIZ 4S passenger tire, the specialists of the South Korean company focused on the climatic conditions of Western and Central Europe, where this model is positioned as a winter tire. In our country, it should be considered as an all-season tire at most. For use in this capacity, this tire is suitable, as few others are.
V-shaped tread
The V-shaped tread chosen for this tire has a number of significant advantages, especially when operated in winter conditions. First of all, it is the optimal location of drainage grooves for effective removal of water and snow masses from the contact patch. Additionally, with such a design, the tread blocks are arranged in a way that provides good traction on snow.
Zigzag edges of blocks
The longitudinal walls of the tread blocks have a zigzag shape. This solution increases the so-called "edge effect", providing improved traction on snowy roads.
Main features:
- V-shaped tread improves traction in adverse weather conditions;
- blocks with zigzag walls increase stability when driving on snow;
- high density of lamella arrangement provides reliable traction on ice.
