The Winter Maxx SJ8 is a tire designed for light trucks and SUVs that provides confident handling and braking on cold, wet, snow-covered, and icy roads. It features a specialized tread compound that is flexible yet rigid, allowing it to grip low-friction surfaces. The tire has grooves and shoulder slots to effectively remove water and slush from the contact patch. Additionally, it has sharp edges and sipes to improve traction on wet, snowy, and icy surfaces. The Winter Maxx SJ8 has a durable internal construction with steel belts and a nylon reinforcement cap for enhanced handling and high-speed capability. It meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF). The Winter Maxx SJ8 tire also has snow platform indicators, which are similar to snow wear bars, to inform the driver when winter traction will be reduced as the remaining tread depth becomes less effective in deep snow and slush. It is important to install these tires in sets of four for optimal performance. The three-peak mountain snowflake symbol (3PMSF) indicates that a tire meets specific winter tire performance requirements. It signifies that the tire has been tested and proven to provide improved traction in severe snow conditions. This symbol is important for drivers in regions with cold and snowy winters, as it helps them identify tires that are suitable for these challenging conditions.
