Toyo Snowprox S 942: The Ultimate Winter Tire for Passenger Cars
Advanced Asymmetric Tread Design
The Toyo Snowprox S 942 is a state-of-the-art winter tire that brings the latest advancements in tire technology to your passenger car. Its asymmetric tread design, combined with a high density of sipes, ensures superior performance in winter conditions. Whether you're navigating through snow or slush, this tire delivers exceptional traction and stability.
Innovative Silica Compound
Crafted with a new silica tread compound, the Snowprox S 942 offers remarkable grip and handling on both wet and dry surfaces. This innovative material enhances the tire's performance, providing a safe and stable driving experience even in the most challenging winter weather.
Enhanced Driving Stability
Thanks to its newly designed carcass and tread pattern, the Snowprox S 942 ensures secure and stable handling. The inner tread is optimized for excellent snow traction, while the outer tread further enhances grip, making this tire a reliable choice for winter driving.
3D Multi-Wave Sipes for Uniform Wear
The inclusion of 3D multi-wave sipes contributes to even wear, extending the tire's lifespan and maintaining consistent performance. This feature, along with support sipes and transverse profiling, improves grip on snow and ice, ensuring high traction when you need it most.
Optimal Wet and Dry Handling
Designed to excel in both wet and dry conditions, the Snowprox S 942 offers the best of both worlds. Its advanced tread pattern and compound work together to provide outstanding handling, making it an ideal choice for drivers seeking reliability and performance throughout the winter season.
New winter tyres of the 80 to 60 series, with asymmetrical profiles and innovative Multi Wave Sipes. Top performance in winter weather conditions through the silica tread compound. Available in speed indexes Q through H.
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.
E
E
72dB
