Directional tread with multiple grooves that clears slush and water on everyday winter drives
The RIKEN SNOWTIME B2 in size 165/70 R13 is a winter tyre for passenger cars running 13-inch wheels. Made by TIGAR TIRES, it carries load index 79 and speed rating T, and it is sold as a tyre only, without a rim.
Directional tread that channels away slush and water
Numerous grooves push water, slush and snow out from under the contact patch and reduce the risk of aquaplaning. Solid shoulder blocks keep the car stable through corners and the steering precise when the road is dry.
Compound that stays flexible in the cold
The SNOWTIME B2 compound stays pliable across a wide temperature range and stands up well to mechanical damage. Pressure is spread evenly across the tread, so it wears more slowly and keeps its performance for the life of the tyre.
79T rating for small city cars
Load index 79 allows up to 437 kg per tyre, and speed rating T covers driving at up to 190 km/h. The 165/70 R13 size is common on small hatchbacks and older compact cars.
EU tyre label ratings
On the EU label the tyre is rated E for fuel efficiency and D for wet grip. Its external rolling noise is 69 dB.
