Classic winter tyres

A classic winter tread. Everything here is moderate. Medium lateral gaps, wide longitudinal grooves, classic tread block height: 7-8 mm. A tyre like this can be either directional or not. Its performance, too, is middling across the board, as with anything universal.

The target audience for tyres like these is motorists who prefer calm, safe driving in winter, mostly on tarmac.

So, when buying a tyre like this, you need to understand that very deep snowdrifts and high-speed winter driving are definitely not for you. Your reward for that extra caution is a lower price than other tyres, and in most cases a longer service life too.
