Understand Specialized Snow Tire Features

rubber compound but that softer rubber compound is actually designed to withstand longer abuse on flat Solid Surfaces like asphalt concrete it's not designed to go Offroad and go Demolition and it'll tear but you'll notice that this snow tire doesn't have that rounded design that a mud tire typically has and a mud tire usually will have one two three big lugs this has multiple lugs and each lug has individual cyphing and improves and that gives more edges to bite and grab through the snow and then here's where it gets interesting squishiness the soft rubber you see how that's squishy that soft rubber is designed that as it's the tire is rolling it stays soft even in cold temperatures but it'll squish the snow and ice out of the tire so that you still have these edges able to bite all right we made it out Alex is going to be popping some fuel or some oil in the Sledge and Nate is going to throw what do we got here Nate some Haka palutis was a great great redneck option but this has one track across it and then we did all of these so we're going to change that up and make that right there's a steel belt package under the track which holds the surface nice and flat the sidewalls have the right amount of flexibility so it doesn't push too much or too little on the shoulders this has been all prec calculated and then test it and corrected until you got the right tire shape and the right car right casing for this particular application and while we're talking about tires Tim you ran the mecalac last snow event and the tires are studded that yeah that thing uh and it was icy soon as you'd push the snow give it by the time youd back up that the glaze underneath the wet snow and it was so cold out it just turned a straight ice and this this thing man this thing kicked ass just these little nubbins that Zach put in great option all good Tire options all good traction opt options but I'm so pumped to get some Haka paludis finally Haka paludis Haka palutis man I have heard about these things for so long you use a softer compound in the tires is that correct that is correct okay and why is that there are two reasons for that one is with this kind of Tire most of the time you will spend on the hard surfaces and if you want to have a tire lasting long delivering you high working hours on the hard surface it has to be a compound which withstands these conditions and it has been proved that the softer compounds with a higher volume of natural rubber in them with stand…
