Optimised pattern design for an excellent snow performance.

The Ventus i*cept RS2 was specially designed for road conditions in western and central Europe. Thanks to the optimised tyre contour and the three-dimensional block edges, the tyre impresses with a safe traction and braking performance on snow. In addition, the interaction of the longitudinal and lateral grooves ensures optimum displacement of water and slush, thus minimising the risk of aquaplaning.

Features

• Aqua slush edge grooves.
  - Compared to the exisiting product a lateral groove focused design provides maximised lateral grip.
  - Prevents hydroplaning through effectively pushing out water in to the side direction on wet roads through an optimised profile and an effective lateral groove form.
  
  
  
  
• Ice grip slits.
  Provides improved cornering performance with the internal sub-grooves.
  
  
  
  
• Grip claw technology.
  Improves snow traction by applying sharp 3D edge.
  
  
  
  
• 3D winter sipe.
  Ensures optimal winter performance and enhanced driving stability by minimising block movement on wet and snowy roads.
  
  
  
  

Tyre structure

• High grip silica compound. Improved snow / wet traction and lowered rolling resistance.
  
  
  
  
• Jointless full cover reinforced belt. Ideal tread strength.
  
  
  
  
  
• Wide 2 steel belt layer. Ensures optimal tread stiffness and improves handling performance.
  
  
  
  
  
• Adoption of high hardness bead filler. Improves handling and steering response.
  
  
  
  
• Ultra high strength bead wire. Improves uniformity and durability of the bead position.
