Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires offer excellent performance in cold temperature conditions. These tires use their tread design and winter compound to boost the winter grip and driving safety.

The Winguard Winspike features a detailed directional pattern. The directional block placement and the ideal high-density multi-wave and step siping pattern work together to boost the grip on ice- and snow-covered surfaces with additional biting edges. The durable winter compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperature, enhancing the tire’s winter weather performing capability. The tread area is pinned for studs, which can be added to further boost the ice and snow grip.

The groove pattern avoids hydroplaning. The V-shaped lateral and zigzag circumferential grooves work together with the tread block rigidity to boost the hydroplaning resistance. Hydroplaning is caused by slush and water stuck on the road surface which cut off the tire’s surface contact during its performance. These grooves of the Winguard Winspike channel water and slush from below the footprint, keeping the surface contact on wet and slippery road conditions.

Handling and Controllability

Tires must have good handling to ensure a safer driving experience in versatile winter weather situations. They must use their tread design and improved structure to upgrade the steering responsiveness and the driving stability to ensure the driver’s full control over the vehicle at all times.

The Winguard Winspike enhances the controllability as the tread maintains the surface contact. The tread’s zigzag center tread block pattern closely follows the road surface throughout the drive. This enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the model is quicker and more precise in its steering response, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The driver has full control over the vehicle in this manner, guaranteeing high driving safety levels throughout the drive.

Apart from controllability, maneuvering and braking are the one of the post important aspects of a tire. Their cornering and braking power can determine the driver’s control over the vehicle’s performance.

The Winguard Winspike utilizes its tread pattern to increase the cornering ability. The tread’s larger shoulder tread block placement, with the detailed siping pattern, upgrades the cornering power. These sipes enhance the grip on the road surface with additional biting edges gripping the road surface. The high-density siping detail, on the other hand, helps decrease the braking distance. These sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface to enhance the braking power and offer a safer driving experience.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Even winter tires can provide excellent comfort levels during their performance. Like other tires, they utilize their tread design and construction to lower the road noise and vibrations levels while the tires are in motion.

The Winguard Winspike significantly reduce the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The special siping pattern and tread block design enhance the tire’s traction and ensure the model’s close surface contact. In this manner, the tire absorbs the shock of driving, greatly lessening the road vibrations felt by the passengers. This guarantees a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience in all winter conditions.
