Designed for use on passenger vehicles and SUVs, the Hemisphere HW501 is a winter tire that comes with an asymmetric studdable tread design for solid steering response and stability. Wide shoulder blocks enhance cornering and maneuvering capabilities, and the HW501's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint in slippery, icy, or snow-covered roads. Broad shoulders improve stability and reduce braking distances, and the HW501 also features an optimized design that lowers road noises and vibrations for a quiet, comfortable ride.
