CrossContact AX6

Off-road Traction & Durability

Feature

• Large tread blocks combined with a tough tread compound 
• Traction Grooves with gripping teeth
• Open tread pattern

Effect

• Reduced stone retention and resisting cut & chip 
• Preventing the loose surface from sliding through the tread grooves
• Maximizes the edges and the contact area for off-road traction

Benefit

• Excellent durability
• Additional traction on various off-road surfaces
• Ensures grip on loose surfaces, such as gravel

Wet Traction & Braking

Feature

• Silica Tread Compound
• Highly siped pattern

Effect

• The silica molecules in the tread provide a polymer structure that grips wet slippery roads
• Increased grip due to improved water displacement between tread pattern blocks and road surface

Benefit

• Excellent traction and braking on wet slippery roads
• Short braking distances on wet road surfaces

Smooth and Quiet Ride

Feature

• Noise blockers in the shoulder

Effect

• Blocking the sound generated in the center of the pattern and reducing the sound waves leaving the tire’s footprint

Benefit

• Smooth and comfortable ride thanks to reduced road noise

Load Index

The load rating (represented by the numerical value) is related to the maximum weight that tyre can carry. So in this case 105 would refer to a load capacity of 925kg, with most passenger vehicle load indexes range from 62 to 126.

In all instances the tyres load index must meet or exceed the value displayed on the vehicles placard.

Speed Symbol

The speed category symbol, for example 'S', indicates the maximum speed at which the tyre can carry a load corresponding to its load index. So in this case, 'S' would refer to a maximum speed of 180km/hour.

See the chart below for a full list of speed symbols and their applicable values.
