PolarEdge Cold Weather Tire

The PolarEdge Cold Weather Tire is the most extreme winter product in the lineup, designed for operation in sub-arctic and arctic climates where temperatures regularly fall below minus 30 degrees Celsius and conventional winter tires begin to lose their performance advantage. The PolarEdge’s revolutionary cold-formulated compound maintains rubber flexibility and traction properties down to minus 50 degrees Celsius, ensuring that drivers in the world’s coldest inhabited regions have access to a tire that genuinely performs in their conditions. The specialized sipe geometry creates a dense network of biting edges that are optimized for the near-crystalline ice surfaces found in extreme cold environments, where the properties of ice differ significantly from those encountered at milder temperatures. PolarEdge’s structural components use cold-tolerant materials throughout to prevent the brittleness that can affect standard steel belts and nylon cords at extreme temperatures. The reinforced bead area is designed to resist the cracking that extremely cold temperatures can cause in lesser winter tires. PolarEdge carries multiple international certifications for extreme cold weather service and is specified by original equipment manufacturers for vehicles sold in the world’s coldest markets including Northern Canada, Siberia, and Scandinavia. For most users in typical winter climates, other products in the range provide excellent performance; PolarEdge is reserved for those who truly face the harshest winters.
