Goodyear Excellence 255/45R20, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting usability; Comfortable performance; Goodyear Excellence TiresThe Goodyear Excellence is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire guarantees excellent summer weather traction. The special tread pattern and polymer compound increase the dry and wet grip on the road surface. Stronger compound elements optimize the heat resistance during the drive, while the close road contact increases the grip on the road surface. The circumferential and lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. This guarantees a secure summer weather application. Maintaining the road contact of the continuous center rib and shoulder blocks upgrade the controllability as well. They help to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability, resulting in better handling. Additionally, the polymer compound also allows the tire to generate friction at the moment of braking. This significantly shortens the braking distance, optimizing the maneuvering as well. The tread design and durable compound also improve the tread life length. The tread design's surface contact enables the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility during the drive, significantly lowering the treadwear rate. The slow and even wear greatly enhances the model's service life. The Goodyear Excellence also boosts the comfort levels. The variable pitch pattern lowers the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The pattern generates a sound frequency which effectively negates the sound waves created. As a result, the road noise cannot reach the vehicle's cabin, promoting a quiet driving experience. This tire model was manufactured as the original equipment tire of select Audi vehicles. 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.
