Uniroyal WinterExpert Tyre - 215/50/17 95V XL Extra Load

The WinterExpert from Uniroyal is a winter tyre developed to take on the worst that the British weather can throw at you. Over 50 years of wet tyre experience from Uniroyal means that the WinterExpert offers superb levels of grip in the wet, all thanks to their creators knowing exactly how to deal with snow and ice.Shark Skin technology3D zig-zag groove structureImproved rolling resistanceAs Uniroyal are owned by Continental, they share many of the technologies that go into Continental tyres, but with Uniroyal's singular focus on wet performance. As well as an asymmetric tread pattern designed to quickly clear water from the tread of the tyre, they also use Uniroyal's own "Shark Skin Technology". Inspired by the way shark skin is actually made of tiny interlocking scales, the surface of the tyre receives a similar treatment. Just like the skin of a shark, this ensures that water flows smoothly and uniformly off the surface of the tyre into draining sipes leaving clear tread to make contact with the road.Combining the tyre's special surface technology with its uniquely designed 3D zig-zag groove structure in the tread blocks and the innovative silica compound helps to ensure that the WinterExpert provides great levels of snow handling and traction and performance even on wet roads, greatly reducing the risk of aquaplaning.
