Landsail’s Top Tire Features for Safe Rain and Snow Driving
- axisA3 ™ Technology. axisA3 ™ is a term that describes several high-tech features including advanced engineering that significantly increases tire durability, tread life, and fuel efficiency, and a computer-optimized tread designed for increased traction and control in both hot temperatures and rain and snowy weather. axisA3 ™ Technology features include the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating.
- 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake/Severe Snow Rating. The 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating (3PMSF or Severe Snow Rating) indicates that a tire has been tested for acceleration traction in packed mud and snow, maintains tread flexibility in winter temperatures, and provides traction in wet and snowy conditions.
- Mud+Snow Rating. The Mud+Snow Rating shows that a tire has a tread pattern with at least a 25% void-to-tread ratio, which allows it to clear mud and snow from the tread grooves and provide good traction in mild to moderate wet and snowy conditions.
- Wet-Traction Technology. Landsail’s unique Wet-Traction Technology works with the precisely placed circumferential tread grooves to inhibit the formation of water turbulence and rapidly divert water from the tire grooves, protecting against hydroplaning and improving performance in rain and snow.
- Multi-Season 3D Sipes. 3D sipes in the tire’s pattern help the tread maintain its shape during braking and acceleration, improving traction in wet conditions.
- LS Silica Compound. The specially formulated LS Silica Compound increases flexibility in low temperatures, improving traction on wet surfaces and allowing for better control. This tread compound also increases the tire’s fuel efficiency.
- Water Evacuation Tread Features. Tread design features such as an extended groove structure, wet-traction circumferential grooves, All-Weather Engineering, and Snow Performance Sipes help quickly and efficiently evacuate rain and snow from the tread grooves, enhance traction and control, and help prevent hydroplaning on wet and snowy roads.
What is the difference between tires with axisA3™ Technology , 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rated and Mud+Snow Rated tires?
While the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating and Mud+Snow Ratings both indicate that tires meet certain traction standards, they require different criteria for qualification. The Mud+Snow Rating is based on the tire’s tread pattern having a high enough groove-to-tread ratio to effectively clear snow and mud from the tire. The 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake rating requires objective physical testing of the tire’s traction performance in rain, mud and snow, and its ability to maintain tread rubber flexibility in low temperatures. axisA3™ Technology, however, is a term which signifies that multiple traction features have been designed and engineered into a tire, and because of these features, tires with axisA3™ qualify for the 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake Rating.
Choosing the best Landsail tire for rain and snow driving depends primarily on assessing the vehicle's and driver's individual needs.
