The presented tyre is marked with 3PMSF symbol (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake). It means that the tyre meets the EU requirements for winter tyres. The symbol is awarded after thorough tests of a tyre model in terms of snow grip.
Riken SNOWTIME is a winter tyre optimized for day-to-day driving. It comes with a directional tread pattern, which allows it to perform strongly on wet surfaces. Adequate safety is maintained due to having a groove system in the shape of a “V”, as proper drainage is maintained. Via this design, aquaplaning risk is reduced.
Engineers of the Riken SNOWTIME have ensured the equalization of pressures acting on the tyre. Consequently, the tread wears evenly, and slowly over the life of the tyre. The tyre is optimized to be as durable as possible, without any compromise to safety or performance. Due to being constructed with a modern rubber material, the tyre is able to function well even at very low temperatures.
Riken SNOWTIME has an enlarged tread surface area and this delivers better road connection and stability. Furthermore, the tyre is resistant to mechanical wear and to last longer the other comparable tyres.
Riken SNOWTIME is able to lower fuel consumption due to reducing the low-rolling resistance of the tyre. Furthermore, this equates to less CO2 emissions being produced, making it better for the environment too. Its a great tyre, and a perfect solution for drivers which want a sustainable, and safe performance on winter roads.
