Starfire Solarus AS 225/60R17, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; Comfortable performance; Longer lasting usability; Enhanced controllability; Starfire Solarus AS TiresThe Starfire Solarus AS is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Starfire offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The tire ensures excellent all season traction. The symmetric tread design and the all season compound upgrade the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. They help to increase the grip with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the year. The wider circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet conditions. They do not allow water and slush to cut off the surface contact, as they are channeled away from the footprint. The model also helps to greatly improve the comfort levels. The flat footprint and the closed shoulder design work to minimize the road vibrations and noise reaching the vehicle's cabin. The ideal footprint enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. As a result, road disturbances and vibrations are not felt by the passengers. On the other hand, the closed shoulder pattern prevents airwaves from entering the footprint and generating sound waves. This significantly reduces the overall road noise levels. This combination guarantees an enjoyable driving experience. A lengthened usability is offered with the tread design and durable compound. Stronger rubber materials are wear-resistant, which significantly decreases the treadwear rate. The tread design's surface contact ensures even pressure circulation across the tread area, avoiding irregular wear. The tire manages to prevent irregular and premature wear, boosting the overall service life. The Starfire Solarus AS also increases its controllability. The continuous center rib of the footprint maintains the surface contact at all times. This upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, a faster and more precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured as well. As a result, the tire guarantees a better handling and maneuvering 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.
