Rauffan Snowmaster W6

Rauffan Snowmaster W6 — a studded-less winter tyre for vans, minibuses, and other light commercial vehicles. Its design is engineered to handle heavy loads, while the advanced tread pattern is optimized for driving on wet and snowy roads. This combination helps maintain predictable vehicle handling during winter city and intercity trips.

The directional tread pattern features four block-shaped tread grooves, separated by three wide longitudinal zigzag-shaped channels. These channels provide water, slush, and loose snow with open paths to exit the contact patch, helping to maintain traction and predictable steering responses during precipitation and thaw.

The central tread blocks have angled edges, and the entire tread surface is covered with a dense network of fine three-dimensional lamellae. The bidirectional edges help the tyre grip packed snow and icy areas, maintaining traction during acceleration and control during braking.

The linked block arrangement limits their excessive movement under load. As a result, the tread creates a stable support, and the vehicle responds more accurately to changes in direction. The computer-optimized profile improves the contact patch area and shape, making the ride in a commercial vehicle more comfortable.

Key features of the Rauffan Snowmaster W6

- commercial construction helps maintain vehicle stability when carrying cargo;
- three longitudinal channels drain water and slush, maintaining handling during thaw;
- numerous 3D lamellae create additional edges for acceleration and braking on winter surfaces;
- linked blocks deform less under load and make steering responses more predictable;
- computer-optimized profile improves the contact patch shape and helps make the ride more comfortable;
- the combination of water-draining channels and dense lamellae is suitable for the variable conditions of a winter route.
