Rank 1 of 10 - Test Winner
Issue 36/2023 - SUV All Season Test 2023 - Test vehicle: Audi Q5 - Tested size: 235/65 R17
New formula for improved contact with road surfaces, performance balance and enhanced wear resistance.
Improves the digging force of edges in contact with snow surface in tractive mode and water evacuation alongside transversal groove.
Chamfered block edges design tailored across
tread pattern to optimise contact area without
compromising the block stiffness.
Optimised local sipe clearance for improved snow trapping during manoeuvres and improved block stiffness for braking enhancement on wet and dry surfaces.
Additional hollows in the main grooves to promote snow trapping.
