The Wintercat XT from Dean is a studdable winter tire that's designed for use on passenger cars and features deep grooves that force snow, slush, and water out of the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning in slippery conditions. A multi-sipe design boosts grip while also fending off uneven wear, and the Wintercat XT's optimized design lowers road noises and vibrations to create a quiet, comfortable ride for drivers and passengers. Additionally, the Wintercat XT features a special rubber compound that keeps the tire flexible for consistent performance in lower temperatures while also preventing irregular wear for a longer tread life.
