The Atturo AW 730 Ice 275/45R20 110H is a dedicated winter tire specifically designed for SUV-type vehicles. This tire features a 275 mm section width, a 45 aspect ratio, and is built to fit 20-inch wheels.
It boasts a robust load index of 110, meaning each tire can safely support up to 1060 kg (2337 lbs). The speed index is H, rated for maximum speeds of 210 km/h (130 mph). This tire falls into the C1 entry-level, budget-friendly class. Beyond its specific dimensions, load, and speed ratings, consumers can also find EU label values, production start dates, and – where applicable – end of production dates.
Furthermore, this tire does not feature a dedicated rim protection. A rim guard is a reinforced area on the tire’s sidewall designed to shield the wheel rim from curb damage.
This tire does not have run-flat capability.
It is also not designated as a ‘reinforced’ tire for higher load capacities. Reinforced tires, often marked XL (Extra Load), typically have a higher load index than standard tires of the same size. Your vehicle’s owner’s manual or door jamb placard will specify if reinforced tires are required for your vehicle.
The Atturo AW 730 Ice is suitable for driving on muddy and snowy surfaces, indicating its M+S (Mud and Snow) rating, and has been tested and certified for winter suitability, often denoted by the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol.
According to EU labeling, this tire achieves an ‘E’ rating for fuel efficiency. For wet grip, it is rated ‘F’. In the rolling noise class, it receives a ‘B’ rating, indicating a sound level of 73 dB. This suggests a moderate noise level, neither exceptionally quiet nor overly disruptive.
While the EU tire label provides a useful guide for consumers, highlighting key criteria like fuel efficiency and wet grip, it’s important to note that other equally crucial performance aspects – such as dry road handling, aquaplaning resistance, or wear characteristics under various driving conditions – are not included.
Dry Performance
The EU label does not provide specific ratings for dry road performance. For winter tires, the primary focus is on grip in cold, wet, and snowy conditions, which often means dry handling is not their strongest suit. As a budget-friendly option, detailed independent test data on the Atturo AW 730 Ice’s dry braking and cornering capabilities may be limited.
Wet Handling
The Atturo AW 730 Ice receives an ‘F’ rating for wet grip on the EU label. This indicates a longer braking distance on wet surfaces compared to tires with higher ratings. While winter tires are designed for cold conditions, this ‘F’ rating suggests drivers should exercise extra caution in heavy rain or slush, particularly when braking or cornering.
Snow & Ice Traction
As a dedicated winter tire, the Atturo AW 730 Ice is designed and certified for performance in snowy and icy conditions. Its tread pattern is engineered to provide reliable traction on muddy and snowy surfaces, essential for navigating challenging winter roads.
