Riken Snow 185/55 R15 82T - The Perfect Winter Companion for Your Passenger Car
Exceptional Grip in Winter Conditions
The Riken Snow tire is designed to deliver outstanding traction on snow, wet surfaces, and slush. Its V-shaped tread pattern ensures maximum contact with the road, providing you with confidence and control even in challenging winter weather.
Advanced Tread Design
Featuring numerous tread blocks and a high density of sipes, this tire maintains excellent grip on icy roads. The specially designed, angled transverse grooves enhance your vehicle's stability, ensuring a safe driving experience.
Superior Performance in Cold Temperatures
The innovative rubber compound of the Riken Snow tire remains flexible even in extremely cold temperatures, allowing for enhanced handling and braking performance. This ensures that you can drive with peace of mind, knowing your tires will perform when you need them most.
Protection Against Aquaplaning
With an optimal number and density of grooves, this tire effectively channels water and slush away from the tread, reducing the risk of aquaplaning and maintaining your vehicle's stability on wet roads.
Fuel Efficiency and Reduced Rolling Resistance
Thanks to a new silica compound, the Riken Snow tire offers optimized fuel consumption by reducing rolling resistance. This not only saves you money at the pump but also contributes to a more environmentally friendly driving experience.
Choose the Riken Snow 185/55 R15 82T for your passenger car and experience unparalleled performance, safety, and efficiency during the winter months.

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.
