Laufenn 235/55R17T LW71 I Fit Ice Studdable Winter Tire 1017489

Features and Benefits: Comfortable performance; Enhanced controllability; Winter weather traction; Laufenn I Fit Ice TiresThe Laufenn I Fit Ice is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The model promotes exceptional comfort levels while the tires are in motion. The flat footprint maintains a close surface contact throughout i... morets performance, which enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire minimizes the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin, preventing road disturbances from harming the passengers' driving enjoyment. The result is a comfortable driving experience. Exceptional winter weather traction is guaranteed with this tire model. The stronger winter compound and the detailed directional tread design increase the cold temperature dry, wet, and winter weather grip. In other words, the tread elements use the high-density siping placement to firmly grip the road surface, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in freezing, winter weather conditions. The groove pattern, the aqua slants and the absorbing holes work together to prevent hydroplaning in wet weather situations, as they disperse water and slush from the footprint. The tire is pinned for studs, which further boosts the ice and snow grip when added to the tread. The Laufenn I Fit Ice ensures better controllability with the tread design and the stronger internal structure. This boosts the tire's surface contact while the tires are in motion. As a result, the tire increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability, upgrading the driver's control over the vehicle in winter weather situations. The shoulder block pattern with the siping placement increases the cornering capability with the use of extra biting edges. The 3D siping pattern and the directional tread's surface contact boost the braking power, reducing the braking distance on ice- and snow-covered road surface conditions. 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.
