The Romanian winter season presents major challenges for drivers—abundant snow, icy roads, and temperatures that drop well below the 7°C threshold. In these conditions, winter tires are not just an option but a legal and safety necessity that can make the difference between a safe trip and an accident.
The JANTA.RO configurator simplifies the tire selection process, providing access to the market’s most high-performance products, from economical solutions to premium technologies. The platform integrates complete lineups from world-renowned manufacturers and guarantees perfect compatibility with any car model.
Why Winter Tires Are Essential
Winter tires are mandatory when driving on roads covered with snow, ice, and glaze, regardless of the season. While all-season tires offer grip in a temperature range of roughly -10 to +30°C, dedicated winter tires are the ones that guarantee safety and optimal control in freezing and snowy conditions.
Superior Technical Composition
Winter tires feature a compound that retains elasticity and traction as temperatures fall well below 7°C. This is the threshold at which summer tires stiffen, dramatically affecting:
- Traction on the road surface
- Braking distance
- Dynamic vehicle control
- Stability in corners
Specialized Design for Extreme Conditions
Winter tires stand out for their deepest and most complex tread pattern combinations, designed specifically for grip on snow and ice. These technical elements are not merely decorative—they enable the tire to bite into the slick surface and maintain contact with the road.

FALKEN TYRE – 4D-NANO Technology
Sumitomo Rubber Industries Ltd., the company behind FALKEN TYRE, earned a reputation by studying and adapting the molecular structure of rubber compounds. For the 4D-NANO technology, engineers used particle accelerators and powerful computers to simulate the behavior of molecules in the material.
Advantages of 4D-NANO technology:
- Compounds tuned for very low temperatures
- Tread band that retains elasticity in the cold
- Optimized silica density
- Special agents for rubber elasticity
FALKEN EUROWINTER HS01 winter tires benefit from this technology and offer versatile specifications, compatible with a wide range of vehicles across different classes, including SUVs.
Compatibility examples:
- BMW 3, 5, 7, 8 Series and X3, X4 SUVs
- Dacia Logan, Sandero Stepway, Duster
- Ford Focus and Kuga
- Volkswagen Golf and Tiguan
- ŠKODA Octavia and Kodiaq
Miura-Ori 3D Technology
All Falken models incorporate Miura-Ori 3D technology—the tread profiles are creased with many tiny siping slots. This technology makes the profiles malleable, increasing the contact surface with the road during operation.
The technology references the folding technique of Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura, and the siping technique was first promoted by John F. Sipe in the 1920s.
ACP (Adaptive Constant Pressure) Design
Falken EUROWINTER HS01 tires include ACP design which:
- Distributes the load evenly across the tire
- Optimizes directional stability
- Improves braking performance
- Reduces uneven wear
- Efficiently disperses snow and water to the tire’s exterior
KUMHO TIRE – Advanced 3D Design
WinterCRAFT WP71 tires stand out for their special 3D siping design, delivering excellent grip on snow and ice. M+S and 3PMSF certifications guarantee high performance in mud, snow, and icy roads.
Distinctive technical features:
- Special compounds for optimal braking in winter conditions
- Tread design to combat aquaplaning
- Dynamic stability-enhanced construction
- Available in run-flat variant
Premium compatibility:
- BMW 5 Series, X3, X4, X5, X6
- Audi Q5, Q8, A8
- Premium sedans and SUVs
- High-performance vehicles
NEXEN TIRE – Design Innovation
The WINGUARD Sport 2 WU7 models demonstrate NEXEN’s cutting-edge design through:
Integrated Technologies:
- 3D siping grooves — increase snow grip and remain robust on dry
- Zig-zag channels — improve traction and anti-aquaplaning efficiency
- Special oblique grooves — effectively evacuate water and snow
- Narrow longitudinal grooves — boost contact force at the tire edges
Example compatibility: BMW 5 Series and other similar premium models.
