The Toyo Snowprox S942 winter passenger tire was specifically designed for Western and Central Europe, which is reflected in its rather specific operational properties. Due to these properties, in our country, this model should be considered as a maximum all-season tire, especially in regions located in close proximity to the Arctic Circle.
High-performance tread
The choice in favor of a tread with an asymmetric arrangement of elements is due, first of all, to the desire to give the tire high performance on various types of coverage. For the same reason, the tread pattern contains several functional areas that improve certain operational properties. In particular, its inner side contains many double transverse blocks spaced far apart. This significantly improves the longitudinal grip on snow. In turn, the outer part of the tread "fights" with skidding when maneuvering and turning.
Bidirectional lamellae
The lamellae cut into all blocks differ in arrangement at different angles relative to the direction of movement. This solution gives the grip properties on ice and rolled snow even more reliability and stability. At the same time, the presence of special blockers limits the mobility of tread elements when opening the lamellae, which has a positive effect on handling.
Main features of Toyo Snowprox S942
- a silica-rich rubber compound remains elastic at low temperatures;
- an asymmetric tread pattern, divided into two parts, provides high performance in constantly changing road and weather conditions;
- bidirectionally arranged lamellae with special blockers improve grip on ice and rolled snow, and at the same time - handling and stability when maneuvering.
