Firenza offering studdable and studless Nu Ice patterns

Firenza Nu Ice XT-01 Stamford’s studdable Nu Ice XT-01

Displayed at Reifen 2014, Stamford Tyres’ Nu Ice range offers the option of two individual patterns – the studless Nu Ice NTS-01 as well as the studdable Nu Ice XT-01.

The NTS-01 incorporates grooves in the tread angled towards the centre of the tyre to improve grip on packed or slushy snow road conditions. A soft compound strengthens further road traction on snow and ice, while solid blocks with numerous zigzag sipes to improve dry road performance whilst maintaining grip in snow, ice and wet conditions. Elevated lateral grooves increase tread rigidity and improve dry handling and the range is currently available in sixteen size options ranging from 175/65R 14 up to 225/40R 18.

The Firenza XT-01 has a sharply angled tread design with grooves in the centre of the tyre for improved grip on ice and snow, and shoulder lug blocks incorporating zigzag sipes to improve braking performance and increase traction on packed snow and ice. There is also a studdable tread to ensure even greater grip in icy conditions along with an innovative soft compound to maintain road traction under severe winter temperatures. The range has seven sizes ranging from 175/65R14 through to 225/60R16 and both patterns are fully compliant with all current European regulations and tyre labelling legislation.
