To help value-driven drivers prepare for the upcoming winter months, Uniroyal is introducing the Tiger Paw Ice & Snow II, which launches on Aug. 1 in 29 sizes.
Engineered for a wide range of cars from subcompact to full-size, it provides both durability and reliability for severe winter conditions at an affordable price, according to category manager Andy Koury.
“The tire is designed to perform in all weather conditions, but excels in cold, icy, wet and snowy weather,” Koury says. “We used the latest technology to help the tire maintain adhesion and flexibility in low temperatures, thus improving its cold weather grip.”
The tire is molded for studs to enhance ice traction and meets the Rubber Manufacturers Association (RMA) severe snow traction performance requirements, he reports. Also built-in is a highly siped tread surface, deep tread grooves and a winter-adapted tread compound.
It also includes computer-optimized variable pitch tread elements synchronized to reduce noise, says Koury.
“At the heart of every Tiger Paw tire is Uniroyal’s signature DuraShield construction, which is a unique combination of features for durability, dependability and performance,” he adds. “Other key aspects include high density casing, dual-compound tread, high strength sidewalls and high strength beads.”
