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.
Riken SNOWTIME is a winter tyre designed for everyday driving. It is equipped with a directional tread pattern, which performs extremely well on wet surfaces. Thanks to the grooves in the shape of a "V", the tyre quickly drains water, which helps to minimize the risk of aquaplaning and maintains an adequate level of safety.
The design engineers of the Riken SNOWTIME have taken care of the even distribution of pressure acting on the tyre. As a result, the tread wears off slowly and steadily over the tyre's lifetime. An optimised tyre construction also helps to maintain maximum driving performance throughout its life, so that the driver does not need to fear any erosion of the tyre or tread. The tyre is constructed with a rubber blend material and this is characterized by excellent flexibility over a range of temperatures.
Riken SNOWTIME gets more contact area with the road even during extremely low temperatures. This translates into improved grip, and as a consequence - increased safety. The tyre material is also resistant to mechanical damage, which has a positive effect on its longevity.
Riken SNOWTIME delivers lower fuel consumption, which has been achieved through a reduction in the rolling resistance of the tyre. The Riken Snowtime is an economical model as its running costs are relatively cheap, as fuel consumption is lowered. The model satisfies drivers who appreciate a well-balanced and comfortable ride on all surfaces.
