Federal Himalaya WS2

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Winter weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Improved durability
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Federal Himalaya WS2 is a touring, winter weather manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

The tire promotes great winter weather traction. The model combines its directional tread design and winter compound to increase the winter grip. The directional pattern with the high-density siping pattern enhances the number of biting edges gripping the road surface in versatile weather conditions. The winter compound maintains the rubber flexibility in colder temperatures, keeping the tire pliable in such situations. The tire is pinned for studs, which can be added to further improve the ice and snow grip. The zigzag circumferential and angled lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the footprint and boost wet and slippery surface driving safety.

The tread design also boosts the models handling. The treads detailed pattern closely follows the road surface which increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the drivers commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The directional treads special high-density siping detail increases the braking ability. These sipes create friction between the tire and the road surface, shortening the braking distance with the stronger braking power. This combination ensures the drivers full control over the vehicle in winter weather conditions.

The tread designs close road contact stabilizes the surface contact. The better surface contact boosts the tires durability. It evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area and avoids tread flexing. This significantly improves the driving durability as the pressure is eased off the tire during its performance.

The Himalaya WS2 promotes a comfortable driving experience. The computer-designed tread pattern manages to lower the road and tread pattern noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. It decreases the road noise levels created while the tires are in motion. It prevents road noise from being heard by the passengers in the vehicles cabin and it resists road disturbances from dampening the driving enjoyment. This guarantees a quiet drive throughout the tires performance.
