Firestone FR740 185/60R15, All Season, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All season traction; High speed controllability; Longer lasting usability; Firestone FR740 TiresThe Firestone FR740 is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model also has touring sizes. The all season compound and the optimal tread design improve the all weather performing capability. The durable compound and the siping placement along the tread area improves the dry, wet and winter weather grip. The year round compound enhances the overall rubber flexibility in various temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions. The tread's siping placement enhances the grip with extra biting edges along the tread area. The circumferential flow-through grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, effectively resisting hydroplaning in wet weather conditions. The tread design's surface contact improves the controllability. The better surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tread design's upgraded road contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block sequence along the tread area provides additional biting edges to increase the cornering capability and power. The tire also features a stronger internal structure, which sports twin steel belts. This strengthens the ideal high speed durability as the structure does not allow the tire to deform under the high speed pressure. This results in a safer high speed performance. The Firestone FR740 improves the lengthened usability. The tread design's surface contact enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. This enables the tire to evenly distribute the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking and avoids irregular wear formations. The compound elements resist premature wear formations. In this manner, the tire promotes a longer lasting service and tread life. 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.
