Everything your car does, it does through here.

Four small patches of rubber carry the whole car: every brake, every turn, every wet roundabout. This is the tread, rolling.

02 · All-season

Rain is just water that hasn't been moved yet.

BLU-TRAC FLEX pushes it out of the footprint, groove by groove. In 195/65 R15 it is registered in EPREL as a severe-snow tyre, so it carries the mountain-and-snowflake symbol.

03 · Winter

Below freezing, the grooves fill with snow. That is the point.

Snow grips snow. SKI-TRAC PC packs it into the tread and bites with it. 3PMSF, registered in EPREL.

04 · Summer

Long, dry, warm. The easy days, done properly.

BLU-TRAC PC3 is a summer tyre. No snow symbol, and we will not pretend otherwise.

BLU-TRAC PC3 vs the weather

Home turf.

Warm, dry and long. This is the road a summer tyre is made for.

Wet grip B.

Water has to go somewhere. The grooves give it a way out, so the rubber can keep touching the road.

Below freezing, we’d swap.

This is a summer tyre and it carries no snow symbol. For ice and snow, fit a 3PMSF tyre.
