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

They had BY FAR the best deal on tires. Shipped quickly and tires were fresh (not even 3 months old). Would recommend.

I went with the Moto Metal - MO978 RAZOR's. Was online shopping every tire/rim website imaginable base on PMC's reviews i madfe my pusrchase with them. I had a few more questions before i made my purchase and Valerie responded very quickly so therefore they monitor there incoming emails. These are Summer rims only so i wasnt worried on how fast they got delivered as it was still winter when i ordered them. and they got optional purchase plan on them which was a seller for me. I woulda bought tires but i only used my BFG Trail Terrains for only a year. That being said i will purchase from them again this time coming back for tires.
