In addition to its straightforward name, the Riken Snowtime B2 winter tire is characterized by excellent traction on snowy and icy roads. Furthermore, the use of modern technologies and materials in its design has allowed its developers to improve a range of other operational properties, from fuel efficiency to acoustic comfort. Combined with an attractive price, this makes the purchase of this model even more beneficial.
Composite central rib structure
A distinctive feature of the V-shaped tread of this tire is that its central part is a separate functional zone that provides only those operational properties defined by its developers. This is precisely why it has an original design that includes many trapezoidal blocks, which form a very wide longitudinal rib when in motion. The small size of these tread elements has allowed them to be placed on the tread in much greater numbers, which has had a positive impact on traction and, above all, on snow. At the same time, the rounded edges and rounded corners of the blocks contribute to reduced rolling resistance and noise levels.
Increased shoulder zones
In turn, the shoulder zones of the Riken Snowtime B2 tread are characterized by an open design and a significant area. They contain many rectangular blocks that, due to special longitudinal grooves, have a composite structure. With their help, the tire is given increased stability and traction during maneuvering and cornering. Additionally, the very long and numerous transverse edges of the shoulder blocks significantly improve the tire's braking performance.
Main features of the Riken Snowtime B2 tire
- The composite central rib structure improves longitudinal traction, directional stability, while reducing noise levels and rolling resistance;
- Special longitudinal grooves in the shoulder zones improve handling in corners;
- Wide shoulder blocks allow the tire to demonstrate confident behavior during maneuvering, reducing the braking distance.
