GT Radial IcePro LT3 275/70R18, Winter, Highway tires.

Features and Benefits: Snow and Ice Traction; Consistent Driving Control; Seamless Maneuvering; GT Radial IcePro LT3 TiresThe GT Radial IcePro LT3 is a highway terrain, winter tire created for light trucks. On this tire, each and every tread element plays a huge role in countering the winter conditions. The outer tread of the tire is covered with zigzag locking sipes that help a lot with winter traction. The square shoulder design guarantees a flat tread footprint and makes the tread wider, meaning more traction and more stability. The tire is optimized for ice-covered surfaces with its biting edges that allow it to establish a firm grip. In addition, it is made of a rubber compound that enhances traction in freezing cold temperatures. The staggered elements of its complex tread pattern are strategically placed to enhance controllability. Both the zigzag center rib and the blocks on both of its sides are designed to consistently maintain road contact. With such a flat tread footprint, steering response and cornering are always on-point. The tire structure is perfect for equalizing driving pressure, which contributes to handling and overall control. The wide range of different tread elements on the tire give a huge boost to its maneuverability. For instance, the square shoulder rib is divided into separate block elements. Each of them has the same siping pattern on it with biting edges that help in establishing a powerful grip. The sipes and the design of the blocks themselves give a huge boost to the tire's cornering ability. Together with the zigzag grooves, the GT Radial IcePro LT3 generates a lot of friction while braking, greatly reducing the braking distance. 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.
