Platin RP-70 Winter 235/55 R18 104H XL Winter Tyre

V-shaped tread pattern, open shoulder

The tread is directional: a V-shaped pattern, extra-wide longitudinal grooves, and an open shoulder design disperse water and slush, both when braking and cornering.

Sipes and snow channels

The tread design features numerous sipes and snow grooves, designed to capture snow from the road surface and trap it within the tread pattern for improved traction.

Revised rolling resistance-braking balance

The manufacturer describes a compound whose deformation behavior has been reengineered to improve the balance between rolling resistance and wet braking performance, without providing specific figures.
