- Superior traction and handling: The MK697
features an asymmetrical tread pattern with optimized sipes (small cuts in the tread) that significantly increase the tire’s grip on ice and snow. This design provides stable handling and reliable control in variable winter conditions.
- Enhanced grip on snow and ice: The wide tread design, with its new 3D sawtooth-style sipes, provides an increased surface area for the tire to bite into snowy and icy roads. A special silica-infused compound is also used to maintain flexibility in cold temperatures, which improves adhesion on slick surfaces.
- Reduced hydroplaning risk: V-shaped and directional grooves effectively channel water, slush, and snow away from the tire’s contact patch. This increases the tire’s drainage performance and reduces the risk of hydroplaning.
- Increased durability: A unique sidewall protector is integrated into the design to help protect against punctures and impacts. Reinforced construction provides extra load-carrying capacity (indicated by the 110 load index) for SUVs and light trucks.
- Comfortable ride: An optimized tread pitch sequence is used to help reduce road noise, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable driving experience.
- Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) certified: As a dedicated winter tire, the Mileking MK697
meets the industry’s criteria for performance in severe snow conditions, as confirmed by its 3PMSF rating.
This tire is an excellent choice for SUV and crossover drivers who prioritize safety and reliable performance during the winter season. The robust construction and specialized tread make it suitable for a variety of winter driving conditions, from icy streets to deep snow.
