Belarusian tire manufacturer Belshina has expanded its Artmotion Snow winter tire lineup. A new model, the BEL‑477, designed for passenger cars, has been added to the range.

So far, the tire is available in a single size: 215/55 R16.

The BEL‑477 is a friction-type winter tire. Unlike studded models, it has no metal studs. Drivers often refer to such tires as “sticky” ones.

What are the features of the BEL‑477?

In developing the new model, the manufacturer focused on the tread design and the rubber compound. Among the stated features:

• A directional tread pattern with a central longitudinal groove. According to the designers, this construction enhances the vehicle’s directional stability and handling.
• Z‑shaped lugs that are intended to improve traction on winter roads.
• Wide channels for draining water and snow slush from the contact patch.
• A special rubber compound designed to maintain elasticity at low temperatures.

Thus, the BEL‑477 has become a new addition to the Belarusian manufacturer’s Artmotion Snow winter lineup. No information about other size variants of the model is available at this time.
