Petlas Snowmaster 2: Exceptional Winter Performance for Passenger Cars
Unmatched Winter Traction and Safety
The Petlas Snowmaster 2 is a premium winter tire designed specifically for passenger cars, ensuring superior safety and performance in cold weather conditions. With its innovative asymmetrical tread pattern, this tire excels in providing short braking distances and exceptional traction on snow-covered and icy roads.
Advanced Tread Design for Optimal Winter Handling
Featuring a unique circular channel, the Snowmaster 2 efficiently disperses snow and water, maintaining high performance even at elevated speeds. This design not only enhances grip on slippery surfaces but also reduces the risk of hydroplaning, ensuring a secure driving experience throughout the winter season.
Reliable Performance Across Varied Road Conditions
Whether you're navigating urban streets or rural landscapes, the Snowmaster 2 adapts effortlessly to diverse road conditions. Its robust construction and advanced tread technology make it an ideal choice for drivers seeking reliability and safety during the harshest winter months.
Experience Confidence and Control
Equip your vehicle with the Petlas Snowmaster 2 and enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing you have a tire engineered for excellence in winter conditions. Experience the difference with improved control, stability, and safety on every journey.
SnowMaster 2 is a winter tyre developed to provide short braking distances, superior traction performance and safety on snowy surfaces at low temperatures.
The sipes adjusted perpendicular to the direction of rotation provide superior traction and short braking distance on snowy ground.
It offers reduced noise and increased traction performance with angled blocks placed away from each other.
It provides superior handling on snow with its V-shaped directional block structure.
The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.
The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.
The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm
The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance
fuel efficiency
The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).
If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher. (Source: European Commission Impact Assessment * when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)
Please note: Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.
wet grip
Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).
If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).* *Source: wdk Economic Association of the German Rubber Industry eV
Please note: Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.
External rolling noise
The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values for external tire rolling noise.
A The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016. B The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016. C The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.
