Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires utilize their tread design and winter compound to increase the winter weather performance. This combination ensures their exceptional performing ability and traction in colder temperature conditions.

The WinGuard Sport 2 combined its directional pattern and winter compound to enhance the ice and snow traction. The directional tread design features a high-density 3D siping pattern and long, angled tread blocks that create the footprint. In this manner, the tread keeps the surface contact and boosts the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout their performance. This allows the tire to increase the ice and snow gripping capability. The compound, on the other hand, optimizes the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, which keeps the tire pliable in versatile situations.

The tread’s angled lateral and zigzag circumferential grooves avoid hydroplaning. These grooves channel water and slush from below the footprint, maintaining the tire’s ideal surface contact at all times. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard which happens when the water and slush that is stuck on the road surface cuts off the tire’s surface contact, causing the vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control over it. The lowered possibility of hydroplaning guarantees high driving safety levels throughout the tire’s lifetime.

High Speed Handling and Controllability

High performance winter tires provide exceptional driving safety, even during the vehicle’s high speed performance. Their tread design, winter compound and optimal structure work together to increase the high speed steering responsiveness and driving stability to guarantee a safer performing capability in winter weather.

The WinGuard Sport 2 uses its detailed directional tread design and flat footprint to improve the surface contact throughout the drive. This enables the tire to increase the steering responsiveness and the driving stability as the tread upgrades the winter weather controllability. In other words, the better surface contact boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tire’s optimal shoulder block placement upgrades the cornering capability. These blocks increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering, which ensures the tire’s safer performing power.

The tire features a stronger construction, which works together with the directional tread pattern to ease the driving pressure off the tire. This prevents heat build-up along the tread area and manages to maintain the ideal tire shape at all times. As a result, the tire can safely perform at its greatest high speed capability without allowing the shape’s deformation under the pressure.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Winter tires are not known for their quiet performance, but that does not mean they do not exist. It is harder to offer a quiet performance with winter tires due to their detailed tread pattern. However, with the WinGuard Sport 2 its tread design improves the driving comfort levels greatly.

The WinGuard Sport 2’s tread features a dual variable pitch sequence. This pitch sequence manages to lower the road and tread pattern noise heard while the tires are in motion. The pitch sequence creates a sound frequency that cancels out the soundwaves before they can reach the vehicle’s cabin and dampen the passengers driving enjoyment. As road and tread pattern noise does not ruin the driving comfort levels, the tire ensures a comfortable and quiet driving enjoyment.
