TBC ARC52 Arctic Claw WXI Studdable Winter Tire 225/60R16 98T

The TBC Arctic Claw Winter WXI is a studdable winter tire that meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and carries the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, making it an excellent choice for drivers who need reliable performance in harsh winter conditions. Designed for use on coupes, sedans, CUVs, and some pickup trucks, this tire delivers confident traction on snow, ice, and slush-covered roads.

Key Features:

• Wide tread grooves and multiple sipes work together to enhance traction in snow and slush
• Pre-drilled to accept optional metal studs for additional grip in freezing rain, sleet, and wet ice
• High-density zigzag siping pattern increases biting edges for superior road grip
• Winter compound maintains rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures
• Angled lateral grooves eliminate water and slush to prevent hydroplaning
• Optimized design reduces road noise and vibrations for a comfortable ride

The angled grooves and high-density siping generate friction between tire and road surface during braking, reducing braking distance even on ice and snow-covered surfaces. The flat footprint maintains constant road contact to boost steering responsiveness and driving stability, ensuring precise response to driver commands in challenging winter conditions.
