Description
The Kapsen RW501 is a Winter tire in size 255/70R16 engineered to deliver confident traction when accelerating on snow and ice. Built with a rubber compound that remains flexible below 7°C, this tire penetrates deep snow with aggressive tread design and dense siping that grips packed ice and slush effectively. Launch grip is consistent across cold Canadian road surfaces, including salt-treated highways.
- Vehicle Fit: The 255/70R16 size fits many mid-size sedans and crossovers, including the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, Chevrolet Equinox, and Nissan Rogue. For exact fitment, check the tire size sticker inside your driver-side door or use the tire size search on the migotire.com homepage.
- Seasonal Performance: The RW501 features a cold-weather rubber compound that stays pliable in sub-zero conditions and carries a severe-snow rating (3PMSF). Deep tread depth and dense sipe geometry work together to maintain edge grip on ice and penetrate snow, supporting controlled acceleration and braking through winter months.
- Load & Speed Rating: Load index 111 supports 1,090 kg (2,403 lbs) per tire—adequate capacity for a passenger sedan with occupants and cargo. Speed rating T permits a maximum of 190 km/h, matching typical highway and road use.
- Tire Type: Passenger car tires like the RW501 are designed for sedans, hatchbacks, and crossover SUVs. They prioritize balanced handling, comfort, and predictable behavior across everyday driving conditions while maintaining efficiency and stability.
