Let's get to know more about winter tires. These are designed using a specialized rubber compound shaped into a special tread pattern that allows them to show maximum performance in low temperatures. The pattern benefits deeper grooves and more sipes (small slits) in the tread developed to boost tire grip on snowy and icy surfaces. Now, we want to present one of the best winter tires from the Petlas lineup, the SnowMaster 2 Sport. This model can be an ideal tire option for people who are not ready to spend a lot of money but want great traction and speed capability during winter seasons.
Firstly, this model uses a special rubber compound formed into an asymmetrical pattern with an aggressive look. Open shoulders with special sipes ensure superior grip power and high steering precision in sharp turns. While the wider outer side with a special inner side and reinforced blocks increase the cornering safety for stressless rides. For safety reasons, here we have three circumferential grooves coupled with special shoulder grooves. These work in tandem and channel efficient snow and water from under the tire, a thing important in high speed applications.
Moreover, Petlas SnowMaster 2 Sport is developed in multiple sizes starting from 215/55R16 and ending with 255/35ZR20. Depending on the size, it comes with H, V, or W-speed index. Many drivers of the Volvo S60, Audi TT, Ford Mustang, Lexus IS, Cadillac XTC, and Tesla Model S prefer to fit their vehicles with this model during the winter seasons.
