Winter Weather Performance

Winter tires utilize their tread design and winter compound to improve the winter weather traction. They manage to boost the number of biting edges that grip the road in colder temperature surface conditions, while also maintaining the ideal rubber flexibility.

The Winterstar ST upgrades the ice and snow grip. The directional tread design with the ideal siping pattern boosts the road surface contact. These tread elements firmly grip the road surface with the additional biting edges they create. This increases the cold temperature dry, wet and slippery surface grip throughout the drive. The winter compound upgrades the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, ensuing the tire’s exceptional performance. The tire is pinned for studs, which can be added to further increase the ice and snow traction.

The tread design’s groove pattern enhanced the hydroplaning resistance. Hydroplaning is a road hazard which causes the vehicle to skid as water and slush trapped on the road surface cut off the tire’s surface contact during the drive. The Winterstar ST manages to channel water and slush away from the footprint, maintaining the surface contact and increasing the winter weather wet and slippery grip and performance.

Handling and Controllability

Controllability is one of a tire’s most important aspects. Without a fast and precise handling, tires cannot perform safely. As a result, it is important to improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability to ensure the vehicle’s secure performance.

The Winterstar ST upgrades the handling with the ideal tread design. The directional tread design maintains the tire’s surface contact throughout the drive, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, 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 combination guarantees the driver’s full control over the vehicle at all times.

The tread design’s ideal shoulder tread block placement upgrades the cornering ability. These blocks with the optimal siping details heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the drive. This allows the tire to increase the cornering and maneuvering ability, offering a safer controllability and performance.

High Driving Comfort Levels

Even winter tires can offer excellent driving comfort levels throughout their performance. Their tread design and internal structure work together to decrease the road disturbances heard and felt in the vehicle’s cabin.

The Winterstar ST utilizes its directional tread design to reduce the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. The directional tread’s center rib maintains the surface contact throughout the performance. It ensures the tire’s close surface contact, which allows the model to absorb the road shock and the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the road vibrations are not felt by the passengers during the drive. This guarantees a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
