Here we are again… we came back from the Stelvio Pass freezing, but it’s so nice to see such a feedback from the Tour’s participants!
Snow is about to fall… – it was actually snowing in Munich on Thursday – but we more than are ready for such cold weather: after all we just came back from the coldest event of the year… we reached 18°C below zero!
And you guys, are you ready? Or are you going to end up like the people in the video below??
… what a pile-up! ![]()
The first thing to do to avoid such accidents is to equip you car with winter tyres to begin the season at best!
And, if they fit your car, it’s time to use the Snowcontrol Serie II!
We are clearly a bit partial… but it’s very important to be aware that winter can be dangerous if you aren’t equipped in the right way.
It’s very hard to have a good control if you don’t have the right tyres while driving when it’s very cold or anyway below 7°C, on wet, dry or snowy road surfaces: it’s just like skiing with flip-flops instead of using ski boots.
The siped longitudinal grooves created on the Snowcontrol Serie II let your car having a great “snow on snow” friction effect, increasing traction on snowy surfaces, and thus increasing your car’s performances!
After all the Snowcontrol Serie II have been tested on the Stelvio Pass fresh snow at 3.200 m of altitude… do you need any more proof!?
BRRR… if we think back about it we still shake and shiver for the cold!
