Winter Tire Driving in Snowy Winter Conditions

Champiro Winterpro HP

Lower temperatures, ice, slush, and snow can make driving difficult, and that's especially true for sports cars and performance coupes and sedans that are built to drive at a higher pace. Fortunately, GT Radial built the Champiro Winterpro HP with a high performance design for better handling and control in winter weather conditions. Wide grooves within the tread force water, slush, and packed snow out of the tire for consistent traction, and the Winterpro HP's lateral cross-cut grooves further assist in water, slush, and snow evacuation while also creating additional biting edges to boost grip.  The Winterpro HP utilizes a sunflower oil rubber compound that improves braking and handling performance in wet and snowy weather, and the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol on the sidewall means this tire is certified to perform in severe winter weather conditions.
