Highlights

Aquaplaning

Winter likes to throw all types of weather at us: snow, ice and – increasingly – rain. For better handling in the wet, as well as a safer drive in your van or MPU, you can rely on Snow Max 2.

Its tread pattern features a V-shaped design as well as wide lateral grooves on both shoulders. These combined absorb and disperse water quickly, reducing you risk of aquaplaning.

Handling

Heavy loads need special care. That’s why Snow Max 2 is designed to deal with the extra demands of commercial driving, especially in wintery conditions.

Its tread features a V-shaped directional pattern which increases the longitudinal build-up of forces within the tyre, giving you more control and better handling. A large number of ideally-positioned grip edges provide excellent traction and great braking performance on snow and ice - even when driving uphill. Increased lateral pattern stiffness also improves braking on dry roads.

Fuel economy

With the new Snow Max 2 we optimised the material mix of the compound leading to improved tyre resistance against structural wear and resulting in an extension of the tread life time. The more durable the tyre, the lower the total cost of ownership.

Test Reports: Uniroyal tested by independent tyre experts

Test winner.

‘Consistently high performance in all areas: little tendency to slip under power on snow, outstanding grip in the wet.’

The best winter tyres for mobile homes on Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen LT chassis were tested in 2005 in proMobil, one of Germany’s top magazines for campers and mobile homes. The test rated the performance of seven winter tyres. The test winner, with excellent ratings all-round and top marks for wet performance, was the Uniroyal Snow Max 2.

EU tyre label

1. Wet grip

The wet grip rating indicates how well the tyre will perform in wet conditions, with performance graded from class A down to E. A high grade means short braking distances on wet roads.

2. Fuel efficiency

Reduced rolling resistance saves fuel and cuts CO2 emissions. Class A tyres deliver the best fuel efficiency, with fuel consumption increasing all the way down to class E.

3. Noise level

This is the external rolling noise generated by the tyre, measured in decibels. The label shows the noise level rated in classes from A down to C.

Additional pictograms for snow and icy conditions

In addition to these three label values, there are also pictograms − if applicable − relating to performance in severe snow conditions (3PMSF) and/or grip in icy conditions (the latter applies to passenger car tyres only).

With the EU label generator, you can access the specific label values for your tyres.
