Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires offer exceptional traction in colder temperature, ice and snow conditions. These tires ensure exceptional driving safety in winter weather situations as they maintain the road surface contact and the ideal traction in versatile weather conditions.

The Winguard Winspike WS62 combines its tread design and winter compound to ensure a safer driving experience. The tread’s detailed elements and directional pattern work together to boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, especially on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. Furthermore, the tire is pinned for studs which can be added to aid the ice and snow gripping ability. The winter compound keeps the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, guaranteeing the tire’s grip on the road surface throughout its performance.

The tread design, with the zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves, helps prevent hydroplaning. Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard which happens when water and slush stuck on the road surface cut off the vehicle’s road contact. By dispersing this water and slush from below the footprint, this tread design ensures a safer wet and winter weather performance. These tread elements also keep the footprint clean by eliminating snow packed into the footprint, which upgrades the surface contact.

Handling and Controllability

Tires must be easily controlled in versatile weather conditions, but this is even more true for winter weather. Their tread design and ideal winter compound enhance the grip on the road surface and maintain the tire’s surface contact throughout their performance to offer a safer performance.

The Winguard Winspike WS62’s tread design, in this manner, improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, 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 ensures the vehicle’s secure winter weather performance, as it guarantees the driver’s full control over the vehicle during its performance.

Maneuvering and Braking

Apart from their basic controllability, tires also need to offer a safer maneuvering and braking ability. In other words, they must improve their cornering and braking capabilities with their tread design. The Winguard Winspike WS62 utilizes its ideal tread pattern to enhance these abilities.

The tread design’s optimal shoulder tread block placement helps boost the cornering power. These blocks, with their detailed siping pattern, enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface and maintain the ideal tread shape during maneuvering. As a result, the tire keeps a constant road contact and it enhances the cornering power and driving safety.

The tread’s zigzag groove pattern upgrades the braking ability. The Winguard Winspike WS62’s groove network and the tread’s overall siping detail shorten the braking distance. They create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which boosts the grip on the road surface. This allows the tire to increase the braking power and shorten the tire’s stopping distance.
