Petlas Explero Ice W681
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- Winter-weather performance
- Hydroplaning prevention
- Improved handling
- Upgraded maneuvering
OVERVIEW
The Petlas Explero Ice W681 is a touring, winter tire made for SUVs.
The directional tread pattern ensures maximum road contact on dry, snow, and wet roads. The angled lateral grooves drain water and slush from under the footprint. This minimizes the chance of hydroplaning and secures traction. The central rib and the dense configuration of the angled blocks put a greater rubber area on the road, ensuring a better dry grip. The numerous zigzag sipes offer plenty of biting edges for a safer and more reliable performance on snow and ice. The special compound blend keeps the rubber flexible and the tire operational even in the most extreme winter climates and low temperatures.
The compound and the tread design ensure excellent traction. The continual road contact of the main rib and the angled blocks ensures increased driving stability. The numerous sipes across the tread also deliver accurate steering and faster response time to the driver’s instructions, even on snow- and ice-covered roads. The wide network of grooves and their particular placement among the blocks enhances gripping power to maximize traction when accelerating. As a result, the model guarantees optimal handling, especially during winter performance.
The Petlas Explero Ice W681’s improved traction of the detailed tread design also boosts maneuvering. The angled lateral grooves work with the model’s open shoulders to give many biting edges for safer braking. The tight arrangement of the zigzag sipes adds extra biting edges for a stronger grip on ice and snow, reducing braking distance on winter roads. The different width of the shoulder blocks upgrades traction, providing better cornering. These elements ensure the tire has continual road contact for greater maneuvering in severe winter weather.
