Being an affordable model from the B-brand, the Sava Eskimo Ice winter tire has a number of advantages over more expensive products from renowned manufacturers, in addition to its attractive price. First and foremost, these are excellent traction properties for this price category, especially on snow and ice.
The tread pattern of this tire, although made in a widely used V-shaped design, has a number of original features. First and foremost, this is the "hook-rib" system. The essence of this solution lies in the special shape of the composite longitudinal rib in the center. It is hook-shaped, which provides additional traction when accelerating, as well as directional stability when driving on snow.
Another important feature of the design of this tire is the multi-radius shape of its tread profile. It is selected in such a way that when driving, the contact patch is as wide and long as possible. This makes the distribution of external pressure on it even, which, in turn, has a positive effect on handling and predictability of the tire's behavior.
Main features of Sava Eskimo Ice tires (non-studded)
- central longitudinal rib with "hook-rib" system improves handling and traction when accelerating;
- multi-radius tread profile expands and lengthens the contact patch, giving the vehicle's behavior predictability and reliability;
- two-layer tread, where the inner layer is stiffer than the outer one, improves handling at high speeds and traction at low external temperatures;
- increased tread depth provides a long service life;
- chamfered shoulder areas and drainage grooves expanding from the center of the tread increase resistance to slashplanning.
