Driving in winter weather can be difficult, as low temperatures, ice, slush, and snow all make it difficult for tires to grip the road. Fortunately, winter tires are designed to remain flexible at lower temperatures for consistent traction and performance, and the Winter ipike (W409) does that and more for drivers of sport coupes, luxury sedans, minivans, and CUVs. Wide grooves within the tread drain water to reduce the risk of hydroplaning while also packing in snow for better traction, and the Winter ipike (W409)'s kerf design enhances stability on icy and snowy roads. Stiff tread blocks boost handling and braking capabilities, and the Winter i*pike (W409) is Three Peak Mountain Snowflake certified thanks to its ability to perform in severe snow conditions.
