The SW-9 tire marks a significant advancement in winter performance, delivering exceptional grip on icy and snowy roads. Equipped with cutting-edge technologies, it ensures superior traction and enhanced safety in the harshest conditions. Designed to exceed Nordic standards, the SW-9 is the perfect choice for drivers demanding reliability and top-tier performance.

• Optimized stud quantity and placement: 190% stud quantity compared to Nordic regulations with strategically allocated stud lines for better road contact.
• Unique triangle-shaped carbide studs: innovative design that maximizes ice friction for improved traction.
• Advanced tread structure: multi-groove and 3D sipe design for enhanced snow grip and driving stability.

Optimized stud quantity and placement: The SW-9 features 190% stud quantity compared to Nordic regulations (170% for its predecessor SW-8), significantly boosting ice performance. The optimized stud location per stud line enables each stud to efficiently rub against the road surface, enhancing traction. Certified by rigorous Nordic Overrun tests, the tire meets road surface damage regulations.

Unique triangle-shaped carbide studs: The triangular carbide stud design offers greater ice friction than traditional round studs. This innovative technology maximizes grip on icy surfaces, greatly improving vehicle control and safety. This design contributes to an 11.6% improvement in ice braking performance over the previous SW-8 model.

Advanced tread structure: The tire’s multi-groove design at the tread center promotes snow-packing pillars, enhancing snow traction. Its unique groove bottom design effectively grips and embeds ice and snow, limiting displacement and deformation of the snow pillars. Additionally, 3D sipe technology on the shoulder blocks maintains block stiffness for better handling stability. Full-depth shoulder grooves provide ample space to accommodate deep snow, ensuring consistent grip. These features improve snow braking performance by 3.4% compared to the SW-8.
