WHAT DOES SNOW TYRE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

snow tyre

Snow tire

Snow tires are tires designed for use in colder weather, snow and ice. Snow chains can be a slower-speed, temporary alternative in snowy conditions. Snow tires have more sipes than summer tires, increasing traction on snow and ice, but reducing grip on dry and wet roads. Tires designed for winter conditions are optimized to drive at temperatures below 7 °C. In much of Scandinavia, Canada, and the US, snow tires may have metal studs to improve grip on packed snow or ice, but such tires are prohibited in certain other jurisdictions because of the damage they cause to the road surface. The metal studs are fabricated by encapsulating a hard pin in a softer material. The pin is often made of tungsten carbide, a very hard high performance ceramic. The softer base is the part that anchors the stud in the rubber of the tire. As the tire wears with use, the softer base wears so that its surface is at about the same level as the rubber, whereas the hard pin wears so that it continues to stick out of the tire. The pin should stick out at least 1 mm for the tire to function properly. Snow tires do not eliminate skidding on ice and snow, but they greatly reduce risks.

Definition of snow tyre in the English dictionary
