Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires are capable of easily upgrading their grip on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions, while it also keeps their rubber flexibility in colder temperatures. Such models are made to handle all winter weather performance with ease and to guarantee a safer driving experience in such conditions.

The Discoverer True North features an asymmetric tread pattern which was molded from a silica-based tire compound. They work together to increase the tire’s winter weather performance. The detailed siping pattern of the asymmetric block placement enhances the grip on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces, enabling the tire to increase its year round performance. The durable silica-infused compound, on the other hand, keeps the tire pliable in cold temperatures, thanks to the rubber material’s flexibility. This combination ensures the tire’s secure winter weather performing capability.

The tread design’s circumferential and lateral groove pattern enable their hydroplaning resistance. These grooves eliminate water and slush from below the footprint and maintain the road surface contact throughout the tire’s performance. As a result, they actively avoid hydroplaning by preventing water and slush from cutting off the tire’s surface contact during the drive.

Controllability and Handling

Tires use their tread design and optimal tire shape to increase their controllability. As they create the only link between the road surface and the vehicle, they determine the vehicle’s handling and performing ability. All tires must have good controllability and maneuvering to ensure their higher driving safety levels and the driver’s full control over the vehicle.

The Discoverer True North features an asymmetric tread block placement along its tread area, which creates a flat footprint, while its internal structure is reinforced with twin steel belts. This combination enables the tire to maintain constant road contact. The better road contact upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the strengthened structure stabilizes the tire against the driving pressure affecting it and keeps its ideal tire shape during its performance. As a result, the driver can easily handle the vehicle in all winter weather.

The tread design’s larger outer shoulder area boosts the cornering capability. These tread blocks provide additional biting edges that grip the road surface during the model’s maneuvering, ensuring a safer drive. The tread design’s high-density siping pattern enhances the braking power. These sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, significantly decreasing the braking distance and ensuring a secure performance.

High Driving Comfort Levels

A tire’s driving comfort levels can easily be dampened by road vibrations. Various manufacturing technologies are used to improve the driving comfort levels during a tire’s performance.

The Discoverer True North utilizes its reinforced internal structure to lower the road vibration levels. The steel belt structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure affecting it, while the polyester casing enables the tire’s close road contact. The optimal shape and the close road contact absorb the shock of driving, filtering out the road vibrations created while the tires are in motion. This enables the tire to prevent the vibrations from being felt in the vehicle’s cabin during the drive, which maintains the passengers’ driving enjoyment at all times. As a result, the tire ensures a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience in winter conditions.
