The Otani WK1000 is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The directional tread design helps decrease road noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin. This is achieved by preventing sound wave formations while the tires are in motion. Road disturbances do not ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment as a result.
The directional tread design also greatly enhances the tire’s overall controllability. The footprint maintains surface contact at all times, upgrading steering responsiveness and driving stability. These tread elements also enhance the tire’s overall cornering and braking capabilities with the help of the tread’s siping and groove details. These improvements promote a safer driving experience.
The Otani WK1000 offers excellent winter traction. The tire combines its winter compound with the detailed directional tread design to enhance dry, wet, and winter traction, including on ice- and snow-covered roads. Stronger rubber materials keep their flexibility in freezing temperatures, ensuring a safer cold-weather performance. On the other hand, the sipe and groove pattern generates more biting edges that firmly grip the road surface at all times. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning, as they disperse water and slush from below the footprint. This combination significantly enhances the tire’s overall driving safety levels.
