The Viking WinTech winter tire is designed for compact and medium-sized passenger cars. It is intended for use in "European" winter conditions, characterized by reliable coupling properties on wet pavement and rolled snow. It is also characterized by acoustic comfort, smooth ride and long service life.
The tread pattern has a directional design with a V-shaped arrangement of grooves. It promotes more intense water diversion from the contact patch, as well as allowing the tire to be effectively cleaned of snow slush. The numerous edges of the blocks are supplemented by the edges of thousands of lamellae. This solution provides reliability of coupling on any slippery surface, including rolled snow with a mirror gloss. Even more efficiency in such conditions is provided by the rubber compound, which, in addition to wear resistance, is also characterized by excellent elasticity at low temperatures.
Key features of Viking WinTech
- a directional pattern with numerous small blocks and lamellae provides reliable coupling on any slippery surface;
- increased width and directionality of grooves against movement prevents the formation of a continuous water film in the contact patch, allows the tread to self-clean from snow slush;
- a special compound with increased wear resistance and elasticity at negative temperatures.
