Description and Functionality of Tread Pattern Elements

• The MPS 520 – Nordicca Van Tread Pattern is a directional type tread pattern with an up-to-date design, especially developed for use by light trucks under winter conditions on city streets as well as highway-type roads
• The tread pattern is designed to meet requirements of high reliability, maximum safety and excellent durability.

Directional Configuration of Tread Pattern Blocks

• Directional Tread Pattern = ideal off-take of water and snow slip, remarkable aquaplaning characteristics, excellent traction on snowy and frozen surfaces
• Up-to-date tread pattern concept = comfortable and quiet driving
  Computer-aided design of the tread pattern = minimum tire wear = enhanced tire mileage
• Flexible width of the tread pattern blocks = high driving comfort

Open Side-block Concept

• Robust, armed tread pattern side-blocks = very good tracking = high mileage, excellent curve stability, dynamic driving parameters, perfect handling
• Open side grooves = good traction and braking characteristics on snowy roads, excellent self-cleaning abilities

Lamella Tread Pattern System

• More than 1100 lamellas providing a large number of adhesive edges = good traction and braking characteristics on snowy and icy roads
• New generation of lamellas = enhanced traction on snow and ice, improved driving stability when transporting maximum loads on dry and wet surfaces
