Vanguard's Arctic Claw WXI is a winter tire specifically designed for use on coupes, sedans, CUVs, and select pickup trucks during winter weather conditions. Its wide tread grooves and dense sipe pattern work together to improve traction on snowy and slushy surfaces. Additionally, the tire can be studded for enhanced traction in severe icy, slushy, and snowy conditions, as it comes pre-drilled for easy installation of metal studs in extreme winter weather. The Arctic Claw WXI is certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake symbol, indicating its suitability for use in severe winter weather conditions. This designation serves as an industry standard for winter traction, providing assurance to consumers. Furthermore, the tire's optimized design aims to minimize road noises and vibrations, creating a quiet and comfortable ride for both drivers and passengers. To ensure consistent traction and performance, the rubber formulation of the Arctic Claw WXI is specifically designed to withstand subfreezing temperatures. This feature enables the tire to maintain its grip on icy, slushy, and snowy roads. The wide grooves and multiple sipes of the tire help in enhancing traction by effectively channeling water and slush away from the tread and biting into the road surface. It is important to note that the Vanguard Arctic Claw WXI should not be used when temperatures consistently exceed 45 degrees Fahrenheit. As with all winter tires, this particular model is designed for optimal performance in colder weather conditions. Additionally, the Arctic Claw WXI is available in a wide range of sizes to accommodate various vehicle fitments.
