KRAIBURG extends 3PMSF product range
Performance tests on retreads demonstrate excellent traction
The "3PMSF" (Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake) tyre symbol has been certifying enhanced traction and braking action for a good year now because it is now linked under ECE-109 R Annex 7 for the first time with a performance text on retreads and says far more than the classic "M+S" based on classifications devised by the manufacturers. KRAIBURG Austria has subjected seven more winter patterns to a 3PMSF test in order to enhance the competitiveness of truck retreads. The designs in question were the K47, K54, K207, K208, K224, K701 and the K702.
