Are you looking for a tire that won't require you to change wheels twice a year, but won't disappoint you either in the rain or in the first snow? The Transmate TRANSEASON 4S is designed as a true 4-season model with a priority on cold and transitional periods. Unlike many "all-season" tires, the snow component is deliberately enhanced here without losing controllability on wet asphalt.
Snow "comb"
Standard all-season tires often sin with sluggish reactions in snowy slush. The designers took a different path here: the central zone of the tread received increased transverse grooves that work in pair with figured blocks. Each element creates an additional edge of engagement that "combs" snow when accelerating and braking. For a wet road, this is also a plus: the same grooves work as drainage highways, diverting water from the contact patch.
Frame without bends
When transitioning from summer to winter, many all-season tires begin to "soften" - the rubber loses the geometry of the blocks, and handling "floats". We solved the problem at the level of tread architecture. Multifunctional stepped construction of longitudinal ribs. Each rib has a variable height and micro-profile that engages neighboring blocks of the pattern. In practice, this provides:
- precise reactions to steering wheel turns without delay;
- stability during rebuilding;
- less deformation under load.
Acoustic magic "herringbone"
The model uses a patented unidirectional "herringbone" (V-shaped pattern) in combination with horizontal main grooves and vertical blocks. The noise reduction mechanics here are tied to the disruption of resonances. Directed elements create counter air flows that dampen low-frequency vibrations. As a result, the noise level in the cabin is comparable to that of good summer tires.
Key features of Transmate TRANSEASON 4S:
- applicability to passenger cars of various manufacturers in any season;
- grooves and optimization of the angle of inclination of the lamellas enhance the edge effect of the blocks, ensuring confident grip on snow and effective drainage on wet roads;
- V-shaped "herringbone" pattern with horizontal and vertical elements reduces aerodynamic noise and vibrations, creating acoustic comfort;
- three-dimensional lamellas form spatial stiffness of the tread, improving driving qualities in any weather without compromising between flexibility on ice and stability on dry pavement.
