The Petlas Explero Ice W681 is a touring, winter tire created for SUVs. The dense arrangement of the angled blocks and the zigzag sipes give the model additional biting edges, for better cornering and braking. This also enables the tire to reduce braking distance on ice- and snow-covered roads.
The extra gripping power of the numerous angled blocks and zigzag sipes increases traction. These elements work well with the tight configuration of the main rib and the tread blocks to ensure constant road contact, even on snow and ice. This boosts driving stability, precision, and steering response to the driver’s input. In addition, the special distribution of grooves across the blocks optimizes acceleration. As such the tire offers improved handling.
The Petlas Explero Ice W681 has a good dry grip, thanks to its increased road-to-rubber ratio offered by the dense placement of the main rib and the tread blocks. The winter traction is maintained with a dense network of zigzag sipes across the footprint. They provide countless biting edges for secure performance on snow and ice. The directional tread design, with its angled lateral grooves and open shoulders, removes slush and water from underneath the tire. This lessens the possibility of hydroplaning. Moreover, the advanced compound allows the rubber to stay flexible even in very cold conditions, enhancing its performance.
