BFGoodrich company is launching a new winter tire – BFGoodrich Winter Slalom KSI with S speed rating letter that was designed exclusively for riding on the ice and deep snow.
The world market of off-the-road winter tires is continuing its stable development. By 2013 the companies will have sold more than 10 million tires (around 6 million are sold at present). The average annual market growth is estimated at 10%.
More aggressive lugs provide maximum traction at the beginning of the ride thus ensuring excellent steering control when braking and cornering. Deep grooves at the shoulder area more effectively withdraw slush and water from the contact patch and guarantee superb off-the-road performance in deep snow.
A new rubber compound has been developed by the engineers of the BFGoodrich company to provide maximum traction performance on snow and ice. Optimal proportion of sipes and grooves increases the area of the contact patch and ensures stable high level of traction throughout the whole service life of the tire.
Bidirectional sipes improve the stability of tread blocks and provide perfect steering control. Sloped tread block edges increase reliability and service life of the tire. The tire contour allows to optimize pressure level.
BFGoodrich Winter Slalom KSI tires are available in 20 sizes with 8 – 10 inch width, 15 – 17 inch rim seat diameter. “S” speed ratin letter allows to mount the tires on vehicles with maximum speed of 160mph.
The BFGoodrich company recommends to mount tires of equal size, model, speed and load rating letters both on front and rear axle of SUVs in case no other configuration is stipulated by the manufacturer. The non-fulfillment of this requirement can lead to the damage of such suspension elements as central differential.
