The Wintersafe WS-1 profile from Nankang features an outer tread pattern that combines zigzag grooves and a polygonal block design. This configuration aims to increase the contact area and improve grip on snowy roads.
The inner tread pattern, on the other hand, adopts straight grooves, promoting better stability during straight-line driving. A 27.5% groove surface ratio also helps optimise drainage performance.
Among other features, the Wintersafe WS-1 profile incorporates an irregular 3D pattern, which enhances the rigidity of the design and improves handling on icy roads. Additionally, the grid structure of the pattern increases the contact area, offering better initial controllability.
The tread compound contains hard natural core powder, facilitating cutting into the icy surface for better traction.
