Glacier-Grip II Tires

Mastercraft Glacier-Grip II Tires

The Mastercraft Glacier-Grip II is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tread design’s siping pattern and the variable sipping density work together with the winter compound to enhance the ice and snow grip. They improve the model’s winter weather performance by maintaining the ideal surface contact and grip. The deeper lateral and circumferential grooves actively prevent hydroplaning.

The tread design’s variable siping depth increases the tread stability. In this manner, the tire prevents tread flexing while the tires are in motion, which avoids the formation of unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface. As a result, the tire is able to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area, without allowing irregular tread wear formations, elongating the tire’s usability.

The Mastercraft Glacier-Grip II promotes a secure controllability in various winter weather conditions. The enhanced winter traction and the optimal tread’s closer road contact increase the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tires. The tread design’s shoulder block placement enhances the cornering capability. These blocks boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the cornering, which enhances the maneuvering safety and stability. This ensures the driver’s full control over the vehicle in winter weather conditions.

ControllabilityThe constant surface contact increases the steering responsiveness, driving stability and cornering capability.
SeasonThe detailed tread design with the siping detail and the winter compound enhance the winter weather, ice and snow traction.
Longer tread lifeThe tread design elongates the usability by ensuring a slower, even tread wear rate with the prevention of tread flexing.
