Antarctica Sport Features

This winter tire model features a directional tread pattern. This design was chosen to improve performance in snow and slush. To enhance safety on ice and extend the tire’s service life, studs can also be embedded in the tread.

Several thousand sipes are densely embedded in the tread blocks. They improve traction on ice and packed snow, and also help clear the tire’s contact surface with the road.

Between the massive tread blocks lies a highly advanced system of drainage channels that excellently manages the removal of water and snow from the tire’s contact surface with the road, thereby reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
