On the eve of winter, the most popular question among motorists is the problem of choosing and purchasing winter tires. There are not only a huge number of models, but also different types. And it’s not just about studded and non-studded tires. The latter, friction tires, are divided into two types – Scandinavian (or Arctic) and European (Central European).
If we recall last winter, thoughts arise about buying a ‘European’ tire. But considering the climate zone (especially in the east and west of Ukraine), it is still better to play it safe and invest in Scandinavian-type tires, which by definition are more suitable for a real winter.
Moreover, today you can find affordable models of Scandinavian tires on the market. These include Sailun Ice Blazer Arctic.
About Sailun Company
We have already told in detail about what Sailun company represents, but let’s recall the main points.
Sailun – a company from China, founded in 2002. Does the Chinese origin confuse you? There’s no need to remind that the laptop or smartphone from which you’re reading this article is 99% likely to have ‘Made in China’ written on it. Moreover, the Sailun brand has managed to enter the TOP-20 tire manufacturers over the past 18 years and currently occupies the 17th position, exporting its tires to 150 countries worldwide.
Furthermore, it should be noted that Sailun tires are the only Chinese tires in the world that comply with the TUV standard.
In Ukraine, the Chinese tire brand is represented by the company “Ascania Auto”.
Winter tires Sailun
One of the latest novelties in winter tires is the Ice Blazer Arctic model line, which includes three versions of Scandinavian tires.
Sailun Ice Blazer Arctic
It is a passenger tire with next-generation silica compounds and a two-layer carcass made with seamless winding technology. The tires are sufficiently elastic and at the same time are highly wear-resistant. The tread is asymmetric with an advanced drainage system. The strengths of this model include: good controllability on ice and high efficiency on slush and snow. Despite the rather aggressive tread, the tire is not overly noisy on asphalt.
Speed index H – up to 210 km/h.
Ice Blazer Arctic Evo
Improved version of the Ice Blazer Arctic for those who prefer dynamic driving even in winter. The model has improved acceleration, speed, and braking characteristics. The Evo model is more suitable for highways, but it will also allow you to get out of a snowdrift.
Blazer Arctic Evo is maximally reinforced for increased loads, but not excessively rigid, so, as it is popularly said, it does not become stiff in the cold. Speed index V – up to 240 km/h
Ice Blazer Arctic SUV
As can be seen from the name, this model of tires is intended for crossovers and SUVs. It is ideal for minibuses and minivans as well.
The model is characterized by its extreme durability and improved excavation capabilities, which is especially important on off-road and snowy roads.
In addition, these winter SUV tires feature wave-like three-dimensional sipes that enhance traction on icy roads. Speed index H – up to 210 km/h.
