ZC Rubber releases new winter tires

Chinese ZC Rubber has presented new non-studded winter tires Chaoyang Arisun 1 Snow, which, in accordance with the company's multi-brand strategy, will also be released under three other brands: Goodride, Trazano and Westlake.

The new tires are made from a rubber compound that maintains softness at low temperatures and increases grip on snow and ice, while special polymers slow down the hardening of the rubber over time, allowing the tires to retain their characteristics longer. The tread pattern includes closing 3D lamellae, which increase the stiffness of the tread and reduce the deformability of the blocks, improving stability and handling, as well as wide grooves that drain water from the contact area with the road and reduce the risk of aquaplaning. In addition, the saw-toothed block walls improve controllability on snowy and icy surfaces, and the bionic block design is made in the form of "suckers" created in the image of fingerprints and other natural structures, and in ZC they say that such a bionic design improves grip on slippery surfaces.

The tires are also made using DMOT technology, which means that the optimized stiffness of the tread and sidewalls improves handling and resistance to lateral skidding, while the shape of the shoulder blocks has been refined to prevent skidding during maneuvering, braking, and acceleration on roads covered with snow or ice.

The novelty enters the flagship line, models in which have a unit in the name, and earlier, for example, summer tires Goodride Solmax 1, off-road Westlake Superide 1 A/T, etc. The first tires from this family were released in 2020, and in ZC they say that since then they have been highly appreciated by thousands of motorists, and the company closely monitors changes in consumer demand, constantly adding new category tires to the line.
