Weathermate Arctic HW501
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
- Fuel efficient performance
OVERVIEW
The Weathermate Arctic HW501 is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.
The tire promotes great winter weather traction. It combines the silica compound and the ideally detailed tread pattern to boost the cold temperature dry, wet and winter performance. The high-density siping pattern of the symmetric tread design upgrades the grip on the ice- and snow-covered road surface with additional biting edges, while the compound maintains the rubber flexibility in various temperatures. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, allowing the tire to further improve the wet and winter traction.
The tread design upgrades the model's controllability. The tread's center rib maintains the ideal surface contact while the tires are in motion. This enables the tire to enhance the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This results in the tire's steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The detailed pattern also upgrades the braking power. These blocks boost the friction generated between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking, which greatly decreases the braking power. This combination results in the driver's constant control over the vehicle.
The tread pattern's ideal surface contact upgrades the length of the tread life. The tread enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure affecting the model, while the tires are in motion. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations across the tread area. The durable tire compound slows the tread wear rate down significantly, preventing premature tread wear along the tread area. In this manner, the tire provides a longer lasting usability.
The Arctic HW501 boosts the fuel efficiency. The tread design and all season compound enhance the winter weather traction. This eases the driving pressure off the tire and minimizes the model's rolling resistance. The lowered rolling resistance in turn decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, guaranteeing a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.
