Consistent performance in all conditions with asymmetrical design
The asymmetrical tread design of the RS-W 5.0 provides optimized road contact and even pressure distribution, improving traction, stability, and steering response. This design works exceptionally well on dry, wet, snowy, or icy surfaces. The integrated Shoulder Tie Bars help stabilize the tread blocks, reduce tread squirm, and improve handling precision, while also lowering road noise for a more comfortable ride.

Improved water and slush evacuation
The RS-W 5.0 features three wide circumferential grooves that effectively channel water and slush away from the contact patch. This significantly reduces the risk of hydroplaning and improves traction in wet conditions. The Chamfered Tread Edges enhance the tire’s contact with the road surface, further boosting its ability to grip in slippery environments, making the RS-W 5.0 a reliable partner in unpredictable winter weather.

Advanced winter-ready technologies
Starfire has equipped the RS-W 5.0 with several cutting-edge features, including Advanced Sipe Technology, which increases the number of biting edges to maximize traction on snow and ice. The tire’s compound uses Specialized Compound Polymers designed to remain flexible in extreme cold, helping to maintain grip and braking performance. In addition, the tread design is engineered to hold snow for better snow-on-snow tra
