Minerva S110 is a mid-priced tyre which is suitable for driving in the winter season. Its specification has been maximized for its price and delivers impressive grip and traction on difficult winter terrain. Whilst it maximizes performance, it also offers great stability and comfort also. This tyre is a must for the budget-driven motorist.
Minerva S110 exploits its firm tread to deliver superior handling on snow or ice. A substantial amount of sipes around the outer area of the tyre enhance grip and traction. This allows the position of the tyre to be steadier on harsh winter surfaces, allowing a safer drive.
The high number of sipes allow the Minerva S110 to bite the snow. The tyre is flexible enough to open just before it makes contact with the snow, and this biting mechanism helps to enhance traction and grip. This reduces unnecessary slipping on icy or snow-covered surfaces.
The tyre design of the Minerva S110 ha four grooves on the circumference of the tyre. This system quickly wicks away any excess water. The advantage of this is, in the winter, extra snow and slush can be quickly flushed from the tyre, making it safer on snow or ice-covered terrain. In wet conditions, this system reduces aquaplaning hazards as excess water is quickly removed from the tyre, helping road contact.
