The WestLake SL369 summer tire, designed for vehicles equipped with four-wheel drive, boasts an exceptionally wide range of applications. Thanks to its universal tread pattern, it is equally well-suited for both paved roads and off-road driving, demonstrating good traction on a variety of surfaces.
Symmetrical Non-Directional Tread Pattern
This model features a typical All Terrain tire symmetrical non-directional tread pattern, characterized by an open design. It consists entirely of numerous massive blocks, grouped into five longitudinal ribs. This arrangement provides the WestLake SL369 tire with a range of benefits, including a multitude of traction edges, high directional stability, even distribution of external pressure across the contact patch, and reduced rolling resistance.
Large Number of Lateral Grooves
One of the distinctive features of the tread pattern of this model is the presence of special lateral grooves on most blocks. When in contact with the road surface, they open up, creating multiple additional traction edges. This allows the tire to feel more confident on slippery roads. Additionally, these tread elements provide additional heat dissipation, significantly extending the life of the tread.
Shoulder Blocks with Notched Edges
The tread blocks located in the shoulder areas have a slightly different configuration than their counterparts in the central part of the tread. First and foremost, they have a greater height, which protects the tire's sidewalls from damage and also provides more reliable traction on unstable surfaces. To improve traction on such surfaces, the outer side of these blocks has a notched profile, which gives the tire additional traction edges, allowing it to more confidently overcome difficult terrain.
