Petlas Snow Master 2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter-weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer-lasting tread life; High speed durability; . OVERVIEW: The Petlas Snow Master 2 is a performance and high performance, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes available as well.The maintained surface contact allows the tire to upgrade its controllability. Better road contact is effectively increased with the asymmetric tread design. The tread elements manage to increase its steering responsiveness and driving stability. It increases its steering responses and accuracy to the driver's commands, while also boosting its overall structural stability. The shoulder blocks firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, enhancing cornering. It enables exceptional handling and maneuvering.The optimized pattern and the winter compound increase the tire's winter traction. The detailed tread design and the winter compound work together to increase its dry and wet weather, ice, and snow grip. This combination enables the tire to significantly optimize its ideal tread design. The tread elements offer extra biting edges, while the compound keeps its rubber flexible. The tire actively avoids hydroplaning, thanks to the optimal groove placement. This enables the tire's secure winter performance.The model boosts its service life and usability. The special silica compound is wear-resistant. In other words, it slows the tread wear rate down significantly. Other than this, the tire also evenly distributes the driving pressure across the tread area, which prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread. The longevity of the even tread ensures an extended tire life and usability.The Petlas Snow Master 2 offers exceptional driving durability. The optimized tread design works with the durable compound, in order to ease the pressure off the footprint. This effectively avoids pressure and heat accumulation along the tread area. As a result, the tire can safely perform at its utmost high speed capability, promoting a secure driving experience.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.
