In every respect the Ice Touring is engineered to make light work of winter road conditions. For starters, its rubber compound is specially formulated with a high silica content. Silica not only gives extra traction on wet and snow-covered surfaces, it's also very resistant to cold temperatures; this is important to keep the tread blocks flexible enough to provide optimum roadholding and to clear snow from between the grooves. Towards its outward-facing edge the Ice Touring features Avon's patented 'Snow Groove'. This circumferential groove is serrated on its inner surfaces for extra traction on snowy roads. Meanwhile, the innermost two rows of tread blocks feature octalinear' sipes that also aid traction and help to rid the tread pattern of unwanted build-up of snow in its grooves.
