Tread Pattern & Compound Technology

The V905’s tread is meticulously engineered with a multi‑directional sipes system that maximizes edge contact and improves water evacuation. The pattern features:

• Wide, deep grooves for efficient drainage of slush and meltwater.
• Large, open tread blocks that maintain flexibility at low temperatures, ensuring continuous contact with the road.
• Strategic sipes that increase traction on ice by creating additional biting edges.

The rubber compound incorporates a high‑silica blend, providing:

• Superior cold‑weather grip due to enhanced flexibility at sub‑freezing temperatures.
• Reduced rolling resistance for better fuel economy without compromising safety.
• Extended tread life through improved wear characteristics on mixed surfaces.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Ensure proper tire pressure as specified by the vehicle manufacturer; underinflation can reduce traction and increase wear.
• Regularly inspect for uneven tread wear or sidewall damage, especially after driving on icy roads.
• Rotate tyres every 10,000 km (or as recommended) to promote even wear and extend lifespan.
• Balance the wheels before installation to avoid vibration at high speeds.
