Before you is not just an all-season tire, but a real engineering compromise. VSP C001 AW is a high-performance model. The developers managed to preserve the speed character and add confident behavior on wet and snowy roads. The result is a sharp response to the steering wheel, fuel efficiency, increased wear resistance, and most importantly, year-round safety.
Tread specifications
The basis is a design with reverse symmetry of the non-directional type. Blocks are grouped into longitudinal clusters. This creates increased stiffness. Elements work as a whole, without losing mobility at the edges. In the contact patch, elongated edges are formed, which work like miniature snow hooks on snow and like drainage channels on wet roads. At the same time, rolling resistance remains at a high level of purity.
Course stability
In the central zone, the blocks actually merge into a continuous longitudinal rib, but with breaks. This solution gives a double effect:
- on dry roads and light snow, the rib works like a force belt, providing clear course stability;
- the breaks between the blocks allow the rib to bend when hitting loose snow or ice crust, creating additional grip edges.
As a result, you get the maneuverability of a sports sedan and the stability of an SUV on a straight line.
Main features of VSP C001 AW:
- year-round operation on a wide range of passenger cars;
- block grouping with elongated edges provides stable traction and effective braking on any slippery surface;
- the longitudinal rib in the center increases course stability at high speeds, while reducing uneven wear;
- longitudinal grooves - guarantee reliable handling and effectively draining water and slush.
