The W-686 - Factory Studded tire is engineered to tackle the harsh winter conditions of Nordic countries and Russia. With its innovative design and advanced technologies, it delivers optimal performance on all winter surfaces, providing safety and confidence even in the most extreme environments.

• Original V-shaped tread pattern tailored for Nordic and Russian climate conditions.
• Stable handling on any winter surface thanks to the rigid longitudinal center tread edge.
• Excellent grip on snow and ice due to a specialized tread block structure and numerous studs.

Original V-shaped tread pattern: The unique V-shaped tread design was developed specifically to meet the challenges posed by the Nordic and Russian climates. This pattern optimizes snow and slush evacuation while enhancing traction. The V-structure also promotes even tread wear, extending tire life while maintaining superior grip in severe winter conditions.

Enhanced stability: Featuring a rigid longitudinal edge in the center of the tread, this tire provides stable and predictable handling on all types of winter surfaces, including packed snow, ice, and frost. This technology helps keep the vehicle’s trajectory precise even at higher speeds, reducing the risk of skidding. The reinforced center tread also improves steering response and driving comfort.

Exceptional grip on snow and ice: The block structure of the tread, combined with a high number of factory-installed studs and S-shaped sipes, ensures outstanding traction on snowy and icy roads. The S-shaped sipes enhance tread flexibility and maximize road contact, while the strategically placed studs provide superior ice grip. Additionally, the large rectangular shoulder blocks increase off-road capability, allowing confident driving through deep snow.
