Winter tires Westlake SW 606 215/65 R16 98H with load index 98 and speed index H is designed for passenger cars.
Friction winter tires (the so-called "Velcro") - there are no studs, the tires have a tread with lugs (tread blocks), well suited for city driving and for snow.
Load Index “98” means that the maximum load on each Westlake SW 606 215/65 R16 98H tire is 1600 miles. Thus, the maximum load of the car when installing four identical wheels is 6200 lb. Important warning, overloading can be dangerous by the destruction of the wheel while driving.
The speed index "H" of a tire means the maximum speed at which a vehicle can be driven on a given tire. Westlake SW 606 215/65 R16 98H tire allows speeds up to 210 km / h. We do not recommend that you develop a speed higher than the permissible speed, this is fraught with an explosion of the wheel.
After "re-shoes" it is advisable to get used to new tires. Goodride specialists recommend running winter tires in accordance with the "Rules for the operation of automobile tires":
- no sudden braking and acceleration;
- corner entry should be smooth;
- maximum accuracy on a wet, dusty or snowy road;
European-style Goodride tires are also not suitable for driving on ice and snow, so if anyone still wants to save on tires, the results speak for themselves. The cheapest tires were also the least efficient, and this is clearly no coincidence. What you pay for is what you have, and saving on your own safety is hardly reasonable.
Automotive tires Westlake SW 606 offers increased safety and comfort of movement. Optimized energy efficiency significantly reduces fuel consumption. This model of Goodride rubber offers an optimal balance of traction and braking performance, both when driving on dry asphalt and when driving on wet roads.
A distinctive feature of the model can be called the presence of small cuts on the tread, which increases traction. The working surface of the tread pattern is formed by asymmetric structural blocks separated by zig-zag channels. This design provides excellent grip, along with short braking distances on slippery icy roads and snowy asphalt.
The staggered arrangement of the structural blocks of the tread helps to significantly reduce the noise of the wheels, which positively affects the ride comfort in adverse winter weather conditions.
The preservation of the elasticity of the structure of the Westlake SW 606 tire at negative air temperatures is achieved through the use of a modern rubber compound. In combination with the aforementioned tire working surface system, it increases the safety performance and predictability of the vehicle's movement on ice and rolled snow.
Features of winter tires Westlake SW 606 :
- Short braking distances and excellent grip on slippery surfaces;
- High indicators of safety and comfort of movement;
- Fast self-cleaning of the tread pattern structure from various atmospheric precipitations.
- Asymmetric tread design optimizes balance while driving
- Special zig-zag sipes help maintain block rigidity and create more engagement edges for better traction on ice and snow
- High drainage grooves around the circumference of the wheel drain snow, slush, and water, maximizing wheel contact with the road surface
