NEW 205/50 R17 93H TREK M7 TYRES
MAXTREK WINTER TYRES
Studless winter tyre.
A designated gum is used in production especially for snow tyres to improve tyre’s flexibility and mobility. There are numerous sipes distributed on tread to increase traction for driving safty. In pratice, this tyre significantly prevents loss of control and shortens braking distance on snowy roads.
Snow tyres are usually tyres with a different rubber composition from all-weather (all-season) tyres. Cold-weather tyres include a greater percentage of natural rubber and silica so there is not as much hardening as found in synthetic rubber in cold conditions:they provide better traction at lower temperatures. Snow tyres provide more small-tread areas, increasing tractionon snow and, in wet conditions, allowing water to escape from under the tyre more easily.
This reduces the risk of hydroplaning. Snow/winter tyres start to perform better than summer or all-season tyres if temperature falls below 7C (45F), as the rubber compounds in the latter harden resulting to decreasing grip even on dry pavement Interestingly one achieves maximum grip on packed snow if the slippage/wheel spinis 40-50%, i.e. one should turn off the traction control in most modern cars for maximum traction.
Speed Rating - H: max 130mph
