PLATIN RP 60 WINTERTECHNOLOGY • ENDURANCE • PERFORMANCE |
Better handling, safe braking and optimum grip on snow-covered roads Zigzag edges in the shoulder grooves and in the middle of the tread provide optimum grip on snow. |
Safe braking on icy surfaces The large number of sipes neutralises through a windscreen wiper effect the water film that is produced by braking friction on the contact area. |
Low risk of aquaplaning A combination of V-shaped grooves and longitudinal grooves efficiently drive out the water. |
Superlative handling on dry roads High transverse stiffness and hence good transmission of the power thanks to the broad shoulder blocks with straight and sinusoidal sipes. |
Display of the remaining amount of tread for use in winter (winter TWI) The TWI (Tread Wear Indicator) shows the wearing down of the tread when 4 mm of the tread is left and hence the limit for the tire being suitable for use in winter. |
Can I fit this tyre on my car?
The EU tyre label helps consumers to decide in favour of a higher fuel efficiency class for their tyres. This can contribute to large reductions in running costs and emissions. Enhanced wet grip means greater road safety, and details of external rolling noise contributes to a reduction in traffic noise levels.
The actual fuel savings and road safety depend heavily on the behaviour of drivers, and in particular on the following:
Less rolling noise saves fuel and cuts CO2. This property is assigned to classes A to E.
Wet grip is assigned to classes A to E. Wet grip is crucial to safe driving. For instance, the difference between class A and class E braking distances is 18 m.
The label presents the volume in dB and the class A (quieter), B, or C (louder). The noise emitted by tyres affects the total noise levels emitted by the vehicle.
The snowflake symbol confirms that the snow tested tyre keeps within the 3PMSF limits (type approval).
