The Snow Max 3 is equipped with the newest winter compound technology for van tires. This extraordinary material improves braking and handling performance in all wintry conditions.
The optimised pattern design displaces water and slush more effectively. This leads to increased stability on wet roads while reducing the risk of unexpected aquaplaning.
The new winter compound allows less sipes ensuring a more stable pattern which results in a higher mileage. This technology also enables improved handling and braking performance on dry roads.
Tyres with high wet grip performance (A or B graded) have shorter braking distances on wet roads and are, therefore, safer in the rain. As with fuel efficiency, the D grade isn’t used and there are no plans to use G.
Tyres account for up to 20% of your vehicle’s fuel consumption so, if you want to get more miles per tank of fuel, you should choose tyres with a high fuel efficiency rating. You will also lower your CO2 emissions. It comes down to rolling resistance i.e. the energy lost when a tyre is moving. The lower the rolling resistance, the less energy is lost and the lower your fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The difference between an A-rated tyre and a G-rated tyre could be as much as 6 litres per 625 miles.
This is the external noise made by the tyre and is measured in decibels. The more filled bars shown on the label, the louder the tyres.
