Performance Ratings
Improved compound with high levels of silica
- Ensures tread blocks remain flexible at lower temperatures. Silica also helps enhance wet grip and traction
Image: 
Microbit Technology in Compound
- Crushed walnut shells embedded in the tire tread compound dig and bite into the ice surface for improved traction.
Image: 
3D - Multi-Wave Sipes
- Multi-wave sipes to increase tread block rigidity.
- Increased sipe density to increase ice traction.
Image: 
V-shaped centre rib with a horizontal Sipe
- Offers stability at higher speeds.
- V-Shape design improves water or slush drainage.
- Horizontal sipes improve braking and accelerating.
Image: 
Wide evacuation grooves
- Wide grooves for efficient evacuation of water, snow or slush.
Image: 
Large u-shaped tread blocks with saw toothed edges
- Designed for added aggressive grip on snow or slush.
- Saw-toothed edges further improve cornering and braking ability.
Image: 
Optimized stud hole placement
- Increases scratch effect (road contact) with less studs for better traction and reducing ride noise.
Image: 
Alternating buttress block design
- Helps dig into snow and propel the vehicle through slush or snow rutted roads.
Image: 
Gear edge design
- Increases edge effect for better traction during cornering or braking with or without studs installed.

PASSENGER & P-METRIC LIGHT TRUCK TIRE LIMITED WARRANTY
Observe G3-ICE
Observe G3-ICE - Car Guide Review
For optimal performance and stud retention, please avoid overly aggressive braking, turning, or accelerating during the initial break-in period:
Less than 80km/h = 100 km break in period
Greater than 80km/h = 300 km break in period
This initial break-in period ensures that the stud has been given sufficient time to seat within the pin hole. In the case where lubricants are used during the installation process moderate driving during this period gives the lubricant time to dry, reducing the likelihood of the stud ejecting from the pin hole.
For severe winter conditions.
