The Prinx Winter Excelia winter tire, presented by the Chinese manufacturer, combines a high level of quality, reliability, and durability. The model has undergone multi-level testing at the renowned German research center T?V S?D, and has confirmed its effectiveness. Despite being in the budget class, to which the tire belongs, it has similar characteristics corresponding to the premium segment.
The basis of the tire is a high-tech compound with an increased content of silicon dioxide, as well as a whole package of polymeric compounds. Thanks to their activity, high resistance to hardening of the rubber mixture at low temperatures is achieved. This has a positive effect on maintaining a high degree of adhesion to snowy and icy road surfaces. In addition, the tread is effective on wet asphalt, providing full control over the vehicle.
The tread pattern is represented by a classic V-shaped structure, which allows improving several performance indicators at once. Firstly, it is the speed of cleaning the contact area due to the diagonally directed channels opening in the "shoulder" area. Therefore, the tire provides reliable grip, both on wet and snowy roads. Secondly, it is resistance to lateral displacements due to numerous gripping edges. An important feature is the presence of reinforcing inserts in some blocks, which neutralize deformation under load and contribute to preserving working characteristics even at high-speed modes.
The presence of double grooves on the block structures, as well as three-dimensional lamellas in the shoulder area, guarantees increased traction on slippery surfaces. These elements also improve protection against aquaplaning or slaloming, making driving safer. It is worth noting the presence of a contact patch with a square contour, due to which dense adhesion of all its parts to the road surface is realized. This improves the efficiency of traction and grip properties, as well as optimizes the wear level, increasing the mileage of the tire.
The main features of Prinx Winter Excelia:
- versatility of application on passenger cars of various manufacturers due to the abundance of size range;
- a multi-block directed tread provides strength of fixation of the contact area, both on wet and snowy road surfaces;
- three-dimensional lamellas and double notches on the tread elements contribute to the stabilization of the vehicle during ice;
- high indicator of resistance to hydroplaning and slaloming due to the developed system of channels and a large number of sharp edges.
