225/45R17 Westlake SW608 94V XL

Description

The Westlake SW608 winter tyre is one of the latest performances from the popular Chinese manufacturer. This relatively low-cost model is characterised by a good level of safety, which can be observed in various winter conditions, despite the fact that the tyre is not studded. In many respects, this is a credit to the European and North American experts who were involved in the design of this tyre.

Key features of the SW608

+ The tyre is constructed using the latest technology from renowned European and North American manufacturers;

+ The symmetrical directional tread pattern provides excellent traction in all winter conditions;

+ A very wide longitudinal centre rib allows the tyre to demonstrate excellent directional stability and responsiveness with reduced rolling resistance;

+ reinforced shoulder area design, with many massive transverse rectangular blocks, improves acceleration and deceleration efficiency, especially on slippery surfaces;

+ good longitudinal traction and grip characteristics on ice thanks to numerous sipes.

SW608 tread pattern

One of the original features of this tread pattern is the double longitudinal rib in the centre of the tread. Together, the two form a rigid tyre structure that has given the model a number of extremely important characteristics when it comes to handling and safety. Firstly, the Westlake SW608 has excellent directional stability at any speed, as well as a quick and precise response to the driver's commands. Also worth mentioning is the significant reduction in rolling resistance achieved thanks to the double central longitudinal rib design.Another distinctive feature of the tread pattern is the design of the shoulder zones. They are characterised by a reinforced structure as well as more massive rectangular blocks arranged perpendicular to the direction of movement. Combined with the orbital tread design, this unique construction of the SW608 allows the tyre to prove its worth in a wide range of conditions.

The Westlake SW608 's safety in winter weather and its compliance with countries with mandatory seasonal tyre changes is confirmed by the snowflake marking on a mountain background with three peaks (3PMSF).
