Winter studded radial tire for passenger cars Sonar PF-5 is manufactured at a plant in Taiwan according to documentation developed in Japanese laboratories of "Nankang Rubber Tire Corp, LTD". The guarantee of high quality of the produced products is the use of electronic quality control of products at all stages of production.
This model has proven itself well in conditions of snowy dirt roads, concrete and asphalt pavement. It is suitable for an active driving style. In addition, the advantage of this tire is its low price and high operational characteristics.
V-shaped design of the tread pattern
This tire model is created in accordance with the latest trends of European tire manufacturers, which is evidenced by the characteristic V-shaped tread pattern.
The tread consists of 5 longitudinal ribs, alternating with drainage grooves of sufficient width. Such a tread configuration improves directional stability over a wide range of speeds.
Excellent traction on ice
Thanks to the presence of studs, the Sonar PF-5 tire feels great on icy road surfaces. The wavy shape of the lamellas creates multiple additional edges of traction when moving, making the car even more manageable.
The shape of the central part of the tread, consisting of two ribs without any breaks, also contributes to this, and as a result, it has resistance to dynamic deformation and excellent stiffness.
Wide drainage grooves
All tread ribs are separated by wide drainage grooves. This design feature of the tread provides for the effective removal of liquid from the contact patch when driving on wet roads, even at very high speeds.
Main features of the Sonar PF-5 tire
- The V-shaped design of the tread of this tire works as an anti-water and anti-snow wedge and guarantees stable high traction with the road at any speed, as well as a low noise level;
- The uneven sharpened edges of the tread blocks provide good traction and serve to reduce the braking distance;
- Effective counteraction to "aquaplaning" due to the effective removal of dirt and liquid from the contact patch of the tires;
- Powerful shoulders stabilize the course during maneuvers.
