Test winter tires Cordiant SNO-MAX: winter is just around the corner

Last spring at the beginning of March, rally, on a test drive of new winter tires Cordiant SNO-MAX. Automobile race was held in the cities of Golden Ring of Russia ". Under this test, all participants had a chance to live to see the cars 50 years ago in the museum vehicles, cross the river on the ice, visit the Museum of Russian life under the open sky, "the museum" Mouse "and the museum" Vodka ", and also to travel on the road, specially built for testing UAZ cars along the Volga River. Cordiant SNO-MAX - a new winter tire in the line of Russian brand Cordiant, is designed for installation on foreign and domestic cars of classes "B" and "C" value of up to 30,000 U.S. dollars, such as the Ford Focus, Nissan Almera, Mitsubishi Lancer, Lada Kalina, Opel Astra, etc. The main goal, which stood in front of professionals holding Sibur - Russian Tyres to create new winter tires, was to develop a product that can be reliably and safely behaves under all weather conditions from autumn to spring, and has decent traction on snow and ice. This bus was used by a wide and smooth tread, which is designed to improve grip, both on dry surfaces and in wet and icy road. In addition, a wide spread pattern increases the possibility of spikes, thereby improving traction, reducing braking distances and reduced noise levels. To thorns were long and firmly held in the tread is recommended the first 500 miles to hold run-in of new tires, during which you want to operate a car in a quiet mode. To accurately determine when the trial run has already been passed around the pins are made running lights shaped as snowflakes - when they are erased, then running is passed. Tread tires Cordiant SNO-MAX consists of angular shashechek and streloobrazny figure and is widely opened to the sides tread grooves allow self-cleaning and take out under the wheels of snow and water. The use of multiple zigzag sipes improves traction as the snow and ice. Test winter tires Cordiant SNO-MAX were subsequently and wet asphalt and unpaved roads and deep snow. I must say that all of these coverages, tires proved to be only the good side. Separately want to stay in fresh snow. It is worth special praise Cordiant SNO-MAX, as a test Ford Focus II are very confident walking down the snowy track and loose snow. Unfortunately, we could not ride on this rubber on the icy road - the weather "podkachala, but on all other coverages bus Cordiant SNO-MAX is kept very, very bad. We must pay tribute to the strength of the tire - road Yaroslavl region were in such poor condition that hit a 20-centimeter hole could easily result in serious defects in the suspension. However, even run-in rubber with honor to endure the burden and left the "battlefield" with minimal loss of spines. In addition, one of the most important factors when buying a tire is its price. And it is very tempting, even - the manufacturer promises that the cost of the 15-inch tires will be in the range 1700 - 1900 rubles. All sizes made of tires have speed index Q, which equals the speed of 160 km / h.
