Optimal grip and road holding thanks to a special rubber compound
For winter tyres, a special rubber compound with silica is used that readily adapts to low temperatures so a winter tyre has significantly more grip (+12%) and traction at temperatures under 7°C than a summer tyre. Not only when it is snowing or raining, or there is black ice, but also on dry and cold roads. Winter tyres perform at least as well as summer tyres in terms of their driving comfort.

Improved road holding and a shorter braking distance due to fine tread
The winter tyre has a special tread that consists of fine grooves. As well as optimal grip, these give greater comfort and improved removal of water or wet snow. This means that the tread of a winter tyre is much more suitable for removing rain, snow and dirt than the tread of a summer tyre. This reduces the braking distance (approx. 10%) and gives greater grip. The result: Better road holding with greater driving comfort and reduced risk of aquaplaning.
