255/45R19 Triangle SnowLink PL02 104V XL DOT19-20 DEMO

255/45 R19 The Triangle SnowLink PL02 is designed for most passenger cars. The tires are marked with high speed ratings— H and V—which allow them to be used on European highways. This model is available in diameters ranging from R17 to R20, which excludes the smallest passenger cars from the target audience. Given that this is a studless model, engineers have carefully optimized its traction performance on ice. In addition to traction, this model’s strengths include a high level of acoustic comfort, reliability, and a long service life.

Key features of the Triangle SnowLink PL02 255/45 R19

+ High density of sipes. The use of several types of these elements and their varied arrangement improves traction on ice, providing good handling;

+ The drainage grooves are designed in a zigzag pattern, which increases stability when driving on unplowed snowy roads;

+ Wide shoulder blocks improve traction in snow during straight-line driving, prevent skidding, and provide excellent precision in steering maneuvers.

+ You get what you pay for!

Dense sipe pattern

One of the tire’s distinctive features is its dense sipe arrangement. Asian tire manufacturers have incorporated several thousand narrow sipes into the tread. Each groove has a wave-like shape that prevents the tread blocks from deforming over time. This design not only improves traction on packed snow and ice but also enhances ride comfort.

Drainage channels arranged according to the zipper principle

The central part of the asymmetrical tread features drainage grooves arranged according to the zipper principle. These elements serve to remove water, snow, and other precipitation from the contact patch. This design improves directional stability when driving on dirty roads.

The shoulder blocks are trapezoidal in shape

Both shoulder areas of the tread consist of massive blocks. In side view, they have a trapezoidal shape that widens toward the base. This enhances the stability of the blocks, which are subject to centrifugal forces. As a result, the tire maintains its grip even after prolonged use.
