95 studs per meter of tire are distributed across the tread surface using a mathematical method based on Fourier series theory. This allows for maximum grip at any time. while minimizing road surface wear. A large number of studs (e.g. 205/60R16 tire has 189 studs) is possible due to the lower weight of the studs (0.8 g).
The flat and wide tread with a complex VA pattern allows for good contact and penetration in snow. The sipes in the pattern blocks are at different angles. which makes them significantly more stable under load, improving braking properties on ice and directional stability on asphalt.
Studs with a special core shape are light. with a directional profile. The V-shaped core with a beveled edge penetrates deep into ice and is quieter on asphalt. Thanks to the specially shaped tread, the studs in the tire remain perpendicular to the road surface and do not twist or sink as much during acceleration and braking.
Advanced computer technology allows modeling and analyzing different rubber compounds at the molecular level. to achieve the best possible combination of rubber compounds for all winter surfaces - sufficient stiffness on soft surfaces and the necessary elasticity on hard surfaces.
Wavy pattern grooves guide water. slush and mud away from the contact surface more effectively and faster than straight grooves - according to the manufacturer, up to 43 l/s - thus ensuring reliable contact with the road even in the most difficult weather/road conditions.
