Firestone WeatherGrip 235/65R18, All Weather, Touring tires.

Features and Benefits: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting usability; Firestone WeatherGrip TiresThe Firestone WeatherGrip is a touring, all weather tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Firestone offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with new tires. The tire increases the all weather traction. The all weather compound and the ideal tread design boost the dry, wet and winter grip on the road surface. The all weather compound boosts the rubber flexibility in versatile weather conditions. The tread elements, on the other hand, optimize the grip the tire has on the road surface with additional biting edges. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. In this manner, the model further improves the wet weather driving safety levels. The tire improves the controllability with the ideal tread pattern. The directional patterns close and constant road contact enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, which increases the drivers control over the vehicle. The shoulder tread block placement allows the tire to boost the cornering ability and power with additional biting edges. The siping detail along the entire tire footprint improves the braking capability. They generate friction between the tire and the road surface, which significantly reduces the braking distance. This results in the models exceptional performing security. The Firestone WeatherGrip boosts the usability. The optimal footprint design and the all weather compound increase the length of the service life. They manage to resist premature and irregular wear formations. The treads even pressure distribution resists uneven wear along the tread area, while the durable compound elements improve the rubber flexibility and combat premature wear. In this manner, the tire ensures a longer lasting tread life. 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.
