Vitour Ice Line. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Reduced vibration levels; . OVERVIEW: The Vitour Ice Line is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The model promotes great winter weather traction. The asymmetric tread design, which features a high-density siping pattern, and the winter weather tire compound work together to increase the model's grip in winter conditions. The high number of sipes promotes additional biting edges that find good grip on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The wide circumferential grooves and open shoulder detail work together to improve the water and slush dispersing capability to actively prevent hydroplaning. This allows the tire to increase its winter weather driving safety significantly.The model's constant road contact improves the controllability. The maintained road contact of the continuous center ribs upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The better road contact improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The optimal shoulder tread block placement increases the cornering and maneuvering capability. They increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface to enhance the cornering grip and the driving safety.The Ice Line upgrades the driving comfort levels. The close road contact manages to lower the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The close road contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, which decreases the road vibrations felt while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the tire guarantees high comfort levels throughout the tire's performance by decreasing the road vibration levels felt by the passengers. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
