segments, Marangoni Retreading Systems has further consolidated its position in northern European markets with the completion of its winter line of tread rings. Following the introduction of the WS101, it has now released a tread ring for trailers: WSS, an innovative profile designed for all winter conditions in European countries, especially Norway and Sweden.
This new generation pattern meets the requirements of the extremely selective Scandinavian market, where strict rules are in place and
where super-single trailer tyres are expected to make an important contribution in terms of lateral stability and braking, above all on roads covered with ice or compacted snow.
The new pattern features a symmetrical tread incorporating 3D siping and exclusive twisterlock technology. The square tread
at the same time offering good mileage and exceptional braking and steering.
The wide transversal grooves on the shoulders ensure a mesh effect that brings maximum performance when stopping, and at the same time facilitate drainage and keep the tread “clean” of snow and ice at all times.
The new WSS tread is Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake (3PMSF) approved, meaning it is suitable for use in severe winter conditions.
The Blackline range is manufactured using the Ringtread system, Marangoni’s proprietary retreading process that uses joint-free precured rings that adhere to the casing without tension or deformation of the tread pattern, ensuring excellent traction on demanding surfaces, thanks to the greater precision and
directional stability of the siping and blocks.
