Winter Weather Performance

Priority Tire offers a wide range of different winter tires for sale. One of our best selling models is Mastercarf’s Glacier Trex which combines exceptional traction with great controllability and high driving comfort levels to ensure the passenger vehicle and SUV’s secure performing capability.

Winter tires must securely perform in severe winter weather conditions. Their tread design and winter compound have to boost the grip on the road surface in versatile winter weather.

The Glacier Trex upgrades the winter weather grip with the detailed directional tread design and Mastercraft’s special Winter Compound technology. The tread design’s optimal road contact, high siping pattern and snow grooves work together to boost the ice and snow, winter weather performance. The siping detail heightens the number of biting edges gripping the ice- and snow-covered road surface, while the snow grooves pack snow between the tread elements which improves the snow-on-snow and snow-on-ice traction. This significantly enhances the tire’s ice gripping ability. The Winter Compound technology maintains the rubber flexibility in versatile cold winter weather temperatures, which ensures the tire’s safer winter performing ability.

The wide lateral and circumferential grooves work together to prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from below the footprint, keeping the tire’s surface contact throughout its performance. This results in the enhanced wet and slushy traction, actively resisting hydroplaning in the process.

Controllability and Maneuvering

A tire’s controllability and maneuvering are important features to consider when looking at its driving safety levels. Tires must have good handling to ensure a secure performing ability and to enable the driver’s control over the vehicle.

The Glacier Trex increases its controllability with the optimal tread design. The directional pattern’s continuous center rib maintains the ideal road contact while the tires are in motion. The better road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. This enables the tire to increase the driver’s control over the vehicle throughout its performance.

The optimal tread design also boosts the cornering and braking ability. The shoulder tread block placement increases the cornering capability by heightening the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. During maneuvering these biting edges enhance the traction and the road contact to promote a secure performance. The high-density siping pattern, on the other hand, manages to shorten the braking distance. These sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface to boost the braking ability and decrease the stopping distance. The better maneuvering ensures the models’ secure ice and snow traction and enhances the driving safety.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Usually winter tires do not offer high comfort levels during their performance. This is the result of their durable compound and detailed tread design, which increases the creation of tread pattern and road noise. However, the Glacier Trex manages to lower the road noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin.

The tread design’s optimal groove pattern manages to channel the airwaves through the footprint. This groove pattern guides the airwaves through the footprint without allowing their contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the tire prevents the formation of road and tread pattern noise while the tires are in motion. The result is a quiet and comfortable driving experience as the minimized road noise does not dampen the passenger’s driving enjoyment in the vehicle’s cabin.
