Overview

The SnowMax

Excellent grip on ice, snow and in wet conditions
… thanks to patented, wedge-shaped tread grooves.

Excellent drainage effect
… thanks to wide drainage channels.

Excellent handling
… thanks to the extra wide tread area and compact shoulder blocks.

Details

The angled tread bars extend the effective gripping edges and therefore improve traction and braking performance on snow and ice and in wet conditions.

The compact shoulder blocks mean steady handling, even when taking corners.

Wedge-shaped tread grooves enable optimal traction in wintery conditions.

Water displacement grooves minimise the risk of aquaplaning.

The extra wide tread area contributes to optimal handling..

The SnowMax in detail

Outstanding protection against aquaplaning
A good winter tyre does not skid on black ice. But excellent performance in wet conditions is also required in wintertime. The SnowMax satisfies both requirements.

The robust and wear-resistant winter tyre for all transporters, light trucks and minibuses has particularly wide water displacement grooves for a high level of aquaplaning safety.

Superb on snow and ice
The SnowMax is hence called for good reason: Its tried and tested stepped sipes ensure that you brake safely on snow and ice. The wedge-shaped tread grooves and angled tread bars provide additional grip when setting off and accelerating.
