Marangoni Adds to Winter Tyre Range
Winter tyres, says Marangoni, have come a long way from the days when they were merely “snow tyres” with very deep treads to help rid the grooves of snow and ice. The Italian manufacturer believes this evolution has above all occurred due to the development of compounds that guarantee better grip at low temperatures. To this end, Marangoni has recently developed its SPE (Solid Particles Encapsulation) technology, which improves performance by encapsulating billions of sodium-based microcrystals in the compound; these microcrystals separate in a controlled manner to create microscopic holes that accommodate the snow, improving grip, traction and control under braking and acceleration.
