Accelera X-Grip 205/55 R16 91H

Features and Benefits: Fuel efficient performance; Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Accelera X-Grip TiresThe Accelera X-Grip is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance sizes as well. The tire promotes a fuel efficient drive. The tire uses the lighter construction which mana... moreges to ease the driving pressure off the tire. In this manner, the tire reduces the tire's rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure which optimizes the vehicle's fuel usage in order to keep the tires in motion. Lowering the rolling resistance, the tire greatly reduces the vehicle's fuel intake and CO2 emission levels. The result is a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience. The winter compound and the directional tread design work together to boost the winter weather grip on the road surface. The compound maintains the tire's rubber flexibility in winter weather conditions and freezing temperatures. The detailed high-siping density increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, even on ice- and snow-covered surface conditions. The tread's circumferential and angled lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning as they channel water and slush from the footprint, preventing them from cutting off the tire's surface contact. The tire's tread pattern is also pinned for studs. These studs can be added to the tread to further boost their winter weather grip and traction. The Accelera X-Grip improves the controllability in winter weather conditions. The directional tread design and the flat footprint manage to increase the surface contact during the drive. In this manner, the tire boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability by optimizing the road contact. The tread design with the higher number of biting edges also enhances the cornering capability, especially during the tire's sharp maneuvering on winter surface conditions. The directional pattern's siping placement significantly shortens the braking distance. This allows the tire to boost the braking power, which guarantees a safer performing capability. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
