Whether dry summer roads or snow-covered slopes, the FourTech offers high safety for all seasons.

For city vehicles in the compact- and middle-class segment.

Technical highlights

Perfect grip, short braking distances.

The solid shoulder blocks in longitudinal direction lead to an optimised transmission of traction and braking forces. This leads to short braking distances on dry roads.

Efficient water drainage prevents aquaplaning. Summer optimised shoulder and winter optimised centre parts guarantee The wide circumferential and water flow excellent performance in all weather optimised lateral grooves have been optimised conditions. for efficient water drainage. This results in improved aquaplaning performance and thus increases driving safety.

High safety on snow.

The optimised sipe technology in the central part of the pattern offers more gripping edges and high flexibility. This allows good braking and grip on snow.
