Achilles Winter 101
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Achilles Winter 101 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
The tire ensures great winter traction. The durable winter compound and the high-density siping placement enhance the winter weather, ice and snow surface grip. The stronger winter compound enables the tire to optimize the rubber flexibility at all times, improving the winter weather performance. The sipe pattern of the asymmetric tread design firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, enhancing the grip in harsher winter conditions. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions.
Better controllability is guaranteed at all times with the detailed tread design. The asymmetric tread design with the continuous center rib enables the tire to improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the tire is able to greatly upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block placement increases the cornering ability with the use of extra biting edges, boosting the cornering capability. The detailed sipe placement generates friction at the moment of braking, shortening the overall braking distance. These elements ensure a safer driving experience, ensuring the driver's better control over the vehicle at all times.
The Winter 101 offers a comfortable drive. The asymmetric tread design features a variable pitch phase shift which enables the tire to decrease the road noise levels heard during the drive. The tread pattern lowers the road noise heard by the passengers, by negating the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. This greatly ensures the passengers' driving enjoyment even in winter situations.
