Petlas Imperium PT515 215/55R16, Summer, Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Comfortable performance; Summer weather traction; Increased controllability; Longer lasting usability; Petlas Imperium PT515 TiresThe Petlas Imperium PT515 is a performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles. This model also has touring sizes available. High driving comfort levels are promoted with this model. The computer-optimized block array of the shoulder pattern significantly decreases road noise levels. It prevents sound wave formations, as airwaves cannot enter the footprint. As road disturbances do not reach the vehicle's cabin, the tire ensures a quiet driving experience. The summer compound and ideal tread design greatly improve the tire's grip on the road surface in summer conditions. In other words, the tread pattern's optimal road-to-rubber ratio and the heat-resistant compound elements optimize dry and wet traction. Circumferential grooves disperse water from below the footprint, effectively avoiding hydroplaning in the process. Superb controllability is also offered. The asymmetric ribbed tread design's consistent surface contact upgrades the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. They boost its steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The shoulder pattern and lateral grooves generate friction during braking, greatly shortening the tire's stopping distance. The Petlas Imperium PT515 also offers a longer tread life. The stiff shoulder blocks and ideal ribbed tread design evenly circulate driving pressure along the footprint. This combats irregular wear formations. The special heat-resistant summer compound greatly lowers the tread wear rate. This combination helps to boost the tire's usability. 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.
