Product description

  • Good value for money product for family vehicles
  • Satisfactory rolling noise
  • Short braking distances on winter roads

The 601 product from the Taurus manufacturer is a winter pneumatic tyre suitable for passenger or family car type vehicles. It is principally designed for the road and the expressway.

The main point of the tyre is moderate stopping distances in winter conditions.

Specific versions of this product bear the "Mud / Snow" and "Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake - 3PMSF" notes on the sidewalls, which guarantees that it can deliver a safe drive on rough roads and in winter weather. Finally, versions including the OWR ("One Way Rotation") note on the sidewall are built to only be rotated one way.

What is the rezulteo score?

The rezulteo score is calculated considering three performance categories: economy, comfort and safety. When it comes to winter tyres, the performance criteria snow and ice are added. By weighting different basic performance criteria an overall score is determined. This weighting is calculated based on the tyre size category: economic, high performance or sports.
