The winter studded tire Ovation Snowgrip, produced by one of the most dynamically developing Chinese manufacturers, is designed for small and medium-sized passenger cars. The tire engineers from China applied a number of interesting design solutions to this tire, which gave it excellent operational and consumer qualities that surprisingly combine with a democratic price.
The design of the directional symmetric tread pattern of the Ovation Snowgrip tire has a fairly aggressive appearance. At the very center of the tread, there is a double central rib. This solution provided the tire with excellent directional stability, and the longitudinal groove that separates the two halves of the central rib helps to quickly remove water and slush from the contact patch. Also, in the central part of the tread, there are two longitudinal ribs, each consisting of separate blocks with a complex configuration. Due to the shape of these blocks and their arrangement, it was possible to form a V-shaped structure of these elements in the center of the tread.
This has improved the efficiency of acceleration and braking on snowy surfaces. In addition, the carefully calculated distance between the blocks made it possible to significantly improve the passability on snowy roads. To increase the efficiency of grip on icy roads, several S-shaped lamellas are located on the surface of each tread element, which, without compromising stiffness, pierce the water film that forms when driving on ice with their sharp edges.
Main features of Ovation Snowgrip
- Excellent combination of low cost and excellent operational and consumer qualities, ensured by a balanced approach and special attention to detail in the development of this tire;
- Excellent directional stability, thanks to the rigid design of the double central rib;
- Excellent snow passability for a passenger tire, due to four longitudinal ribs consisting of separate blocks.
