Leao Winter Defender HP

OVERVIEW

The Leao Winter Defender HP is a touring, winter tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire offers excellent winter weather traction. The directional tread design, with the 3D, zigzag sipe detail, and the winter compound enable its ice and snow grip. Stronger compound elements optimize rubber flexibility in freezing temperatures, keeping the tire pliable at all times. The sipes firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges, enabling its performance on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. Circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush, preventing hydroplaning in the process.

The directional tread design maintains surface contact at all times. This manages to upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability at all times. In other words, it offers quick and precise steering responses, while the structure is secured as well. The shoulder block placement increases its cornering ability with the use of biting edges generated by the shoulder sipes. Braking is decreased with the durable compound and detailed tread design. The combination of these improvements guarantees the driver’s consistent control over the vehicle.

Better driving comfort levels are also guaranteed in this manner. The close road contact effectively absorbs the shock of driving, minimizing vibration levels. As road disturbances do not reach the vehicle’s cabin, the Winter Defender HP promotes an enjoyable driving experience. The stronger sidewalls protect the tire from external damage, avoiding tearing and impact damage.

Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
