Sumitomo Ice Edge
The Sumitomo Ice Edge is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tread design and winter compound upgrade harsh winter weather traction, while the groove pattern avoids hydroplaning. The tread's constant surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, while the shoulder blocks enhance the cornering and maneuvering ability with additional biting edges. The tread's siping pattern and directional design enhances the braking power. The Ice Edge increases the driving durability with the reinforced construction.
Features
- Winter Tire - The soft silica compound and the detailed tread design upgrades the winter weather road grip in extreme winter conditions.
- Hydroplaning - The circumferential and lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint, avoiding hydroplaning at all times.
- Handling - The optimal surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability thanks to the ideal and stable surface contact.
- Durability - The full-width nylon overlay and steel belt structure increase the driving durability, maintaining the ideal tire shape under the pressure.
- Braking Ability - The directional tread pattern and the siping detail increase the braking ability by creating friction between the tire and road surface.
- Cornering Ability - The optimized shoulder tread block placement and the siping placement enhance the cornering and maneuvering ability.
