Description of tires "Matador MP 30 Siberia Ice 2"
Once on the Russian market, the tires "Matador Siberia Ice 2" have proven themselves from the best side, as evidenced by the feedback from drivers. Harsh winters helped test the strength of rubber.
Tread design
Between the powerful shoulder zones, consisting of separate large blocks, there are three stiffening ribs. A deep annular channel runs along the middle inseparable belt, and the edges are Z-shaped.
Tires "Matador"
The ribs located between the central belt and the “shoulders” consist of medium-sized polygonal blocks separated by grooves.
Unique lamellas of two types are responsible for the coupling qualities:
- In the shoulder areas they are three-dimensional, connected by blockers. These elements are responsible for the grip of the tire on packed snow and ice.
- On the treadmill, the lamellas are straight, providing acceleration of the car on a slippery canvas.
The model has a high density of lamella.
Studding
The manufacturer entrusted the development of this part to the software and hardware complex of the plant. Of the thousands of schemes, the computer chose the only correct option.
At the same time, the spikes do not create additional noise and vibration.
What materials are tires made from? “Matador Siberia Ice 2»
Technical characteristics, behavior on the roads largely depends on the material used to manufacture the slopes. The composition of the rubber compound of winter tires "Matador" is a complex "cocktail":
- Rubber. Makes up to half of the mixture. In the fight for environmental friendliness, Slovak engineers add more natural rubber. Tire wear, stiffness, grip and braking qualities depend on this.
- Silica (silicon dioxide). The filler ingredient provides rubber elasticity, softness, and comfort of movement. Another property of silica is its excellent grip on a wet canvas, which is not bypassed by reviews of winter tires "Matador Siberia Ice 2". Silicic acids almost completely displaced carbon black (soot) from the composition of the model.
- Oils and resins. Materials of natural origin with a softening effect are a must for winter skates.
Sulfur, pigments and dyes, and other auxiliary elements can also be found in the compound.
