# Zmax Winter GL868 – Peak Winter Safety and Performance ## Advanced Asymmetric Tread for All Winter Conditions The Zmax Winter GL868 features an intelligent asymmetric design. The outer tread delivers sharp handling and cornering stability, while the inner side with wide grooves ensures excellent water evacuation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and improving grip on wet winter roads. ## Superior Snow and Ice Traction Equipped with zigzag longitudinal grooves, this winter tire creates a biting edge effect in snow, enhancing traction by compacting and ejecting snow with every rotation. The continuous center ribs support responsive steering and straight-line stability on snow-covered and icy surfaces. ## Optimized 3D Siping and Rubber Compound High-density 3D zigzag sipes across the tread increase edge count for improved grip on ice. Strategically placed sipe density balances snow traction and dry handling. A silica-enhanced rubber compound remains flexible in extreme cold—down to -40°C—ensuring consistent road contact, shorter braking distances, and reliable winter performance. This tire is ideal for drivers seeking dependable control and safety during harsh winter conditions, including snow, ice, and slush.
