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.
Minerva Eco Stud is an ecological tyre designed for everyday driving in the winter season. The model was constructed based on a rubber compound which maintains its excellent flexibility at low temperatures. This increases the contact area with the road, and this translates into improved grip and controllability.
Minerva Eco Stud uses a rubber blend which has a lower weight than the standard compound. This has helped to reduce the rolling resistance, and consequently achieve lower fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere. The tyre is also resistant to mechanical damage and rapid wear. All this makes the Minerva Eco Stud a tyre that is ecological and economic - not only because of the favourable purchase price, but also its inexpensive and prolonged operation. The model has helped prolong the service life by allowing a uniform distribution of pressure acting on the tyre.
Minerva Eco Stud wears evenly and slowly, and this provides the driver with a full performance of the tyre throughout its life. The driver therefore does not have to fear a drop in safety and comfort with the passage of time, and more mileage is achieved. Minerva Eco Stud is a good solution both for typical urban driving, and longer and more challenging routes.
The Minerva Eco Stud provides an optimized performance on snow, ice and mud; short stopping distances, and reliability in extreme weather conditions. The tyre is provided with openings for spikes to be applied too.
