PASSENGER CAR TIRES

  • 3D-SIPES

    Original 3D-shaped sipes with polyhedral surface provide high performance on dry, wet and snow-  covered surfaces.

     - Wide surface area keeps blocks stable and enables them to support each other effectively.

  • 3D-SIPES

    Original 3D-shaped sipes with polyhedral surface provide high performance on dry, wet and snow-  covered surfaces.

     - Increased density of sipes maximizes the edge effect.

    Comparison 3D Sipes - Conventional Sipes

  • WIDE RANGE TEMPERATURE ZONES

    W.drive’s compound responds to a wide-range of temperature zones providing optimum performance  on various winter conditions.

     1) “Flexible polymer” retains more softness and flexibility at low temperatures.

  • WIDE RANGE TEMPERATURE ZONES

    W.drive’s compound responds to a wide-range of temperature zones providing optimum  performance  on various winter conditions.

     2) “Micro Silica” has a smaller particle size than conventional silica and maintains rigidity and stability  at high temperatures by hard-bonding with polymer even when soft polymer is used.

  • TREAD PATTERN DESIGN - HIGH-RIGID ASYMMETRIC TREAD DESIGN

    High-rigid asymmetric design provides a high balance of performance on dry, wet and snow  covered  surfaces. Wide-Range Temperature Zones

     W.drive’s compound responds to a wide-range of temperature zones providing optimum performance  in various winter conditions. 1) Inner zone has moderate stiffness blocks and effective grooves for traction on snow. 2) Outer zone has high stiffness blocks for dry cornering. 3) Optimally aligned main straight grooves drain snow, slush and water effectively keeping a  maximum  contact area on a wide variety of road surfaces. 4)Optimized lug grooves drain snow and slush effectively providing added traction by increasing the  edge effect.
