Radial Snow Tires for Passenger Cars from China
These new pneumatic radial tires are designed for passenger vehicles, featuring aggressive tread patterns for enhanced traction on snow and ice. They classify under HTS 4011.90.20.50 as new rubber radial tires not specifically for trucks, buses, or aircraft. The radial construction provides better handling and fuel efficiency compared to bias-ply tires.
