Primewell Valera Ice 175/70 R13 82T

The winter studded tire Primewell Valera Ice is one of the first results of the change in the direction of development of the Chinese tire industry. Unlike its predecessors, this model was developed by foreign specialists using the latest technologies provided by European and North American manufacturers. The rejection of blind copying allowed for the creation of a high-tech tire product that is comparable in characteristics to similar products from companies of the so-called "second echelon". In combination with an attractive price, this provides the Primewell Valera Ice with an extremely attractive price-to-quality ratio.

Optimized winter rubber compound

Since a significant part of the tire's traction properties are ensured by the characteristics of the rubber compound, it's not surprising that this component was given special attention during the development of this model. Its composition is distinguished not only by a high content of silica, but also by the presence of special polymeric compounds. They improve the strength of molecular bonds between all components of the rubber compound. As a result, the tire's tread remains elastic and resistant to the effects of both very high and low temperatures. When driving, this feature manifests itself in the form of very stable traction properties in a variety of external conditions.

Excellent performance in unfavorable road and weather conditions

This model was developed for countries in Northern Europe and Russia, where the winter weather is often changeable. This was taken into account when creating the V-shaped symmetrical directional tread pattern. It features an original block design, consisting of many separate elements separated by drainage grooves. During driving, the numerous tread blocks form a large number of very long, multidirectional traction edges. At the same time, the drainage grooves between them, due to their impressive size, effectively remove both water and heavier snow masses from the contact patch. As a result, the Primewell Valera Ice tire demonstrates very reliable and confident behavior both on wet roads and during thaws, when the road is covered with snow slush.

Excellent handling on packed snow and ice

Another characteristic feature of this model is excellent handling and stability when driving on hard surfaces. This is ensured by the design of the shoulder areas, which contain many separate blocks. These tread elements are distinguished by their massive size and transverse arrangement. In addition, they have many three-dimensional lamellas cut into them, which, when closing between each other, not only form additional traction edges but also increase the stiffness of the blocks, which has a positive effect on handling and the tire's response to steering wheel turns.

Optimized stud placement scheme

In addition to the above-mentioned lamellas, a significant part of the traction properties is ensured by a large number of steel studs. They are arranged in such a way that during driving, they form 10 continuous so-called "anti-skid chains". This is more than enough to ensure reliable and very stable traction when driving on icy roads.

Key features of the Primewell Valera Ice tire

- reliable and stable traction on ice, thanks to the optimized stud placement scheme, which forms 10 continuous "anti-skid chains";
- excellent handling on packed snow, dry asphalt, and ice, due to the rigid design of the shoulder areas;
- excellent traction properties in unfavorable weather conditions, ensured by the high performance of the drainage system and the presence of a large number of very long traction edges;
- high stability of traction properties, regardless of road and weather conditions, achieved due to the rubber compound, which is characterized by a high content of silica and the presence of special polymers of the new generation.
