Rock 989S: High-Performance Winter Tyres
The Rock 989S tyre stands out with an innovative design that combines longitudinal and transverse grooves with a fine, sinuous sipes design. This configuration allows for effective snow evacuation, enhancing grip on ice and snow while reducing the risk of aquaplaning. It also optimises the tyre's ability to clear mud and snow, thus enhancing its self-cleaning performance.
The design of the shoulder blocks and sipes is crafted to balance the rigidity of the blocks, ensuring excellent cornering performance and improved handling. This combination increases the number of lateral grooves without affecting the overall rigidity of the blocks, providing a more balanced contact surface on snowy and icy roads, which improves braking performance.
Thanks to a special compound designed for winter conditions, the Rock 989S improves traction and grip on snow and ice. Additionally, its optimised design and contour arrangement ensure a smooth ride and even pressure distribution.
