General Altimax 365AW 225/60R17 99H 15574520000

Features and Benefits: Enhanced controllability; All weather traction; Longer lasting usability; General Altimax 365AW TiresThe General Altimax 365AW is a touring, all weather tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. General offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The model promotes great controllability. The ribbed footprint and... morethe detailed siping placement boost the tires surface contact throughout the performance. Better road contact upgrades steering responsiveness and driving stability, ensuring the vehicle is easy to control. Additionally, the ideal sipe system, with the sinusoidal sipes, enhances the braking power. They create friction, shortening the stopping distance, even when the tire is performing on ice- and snow-covered surfaces. This tire also guarantees exceptional year-round traction. The durable compound works with the symmetric ribbed footprint to ensure a safer dry, wet, and winter weather grip. The rubber is kept flexible, as it avoids heat build-up and optimizes the cold temperature performance. The zigzag sipe pattern and traction teeth of the footprint provide the needed biting edges to ensure safer winter weather, as well as dry and wet surface grip. Hydroplaning is avoided since circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint. This combination makes the tire perfect for all weather use, which has earned it its winter weather certification. The General Altimax 365AW offers a longer tread life. This is achieved with the durable compound and the ribbed footprint which combat irregular and premature wear. Furthermore, the tread area features Visual Alignment Indicators that place squares on parallel shoulder blocks. These squares wear with the tread and their wear pattern visually shows the vehicles alignment. Identical wear of two parallel squares indicates that alignment is good. However, if there are discrepancies, the vehicle should be checked before the tire develops an irreversible irregular wear pattern. All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year. 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.
