Starmaxx Ultra Sport ST760 225/55R17, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: High speed performance; Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Run flat tire model; Starmaxx Ultra Sport ST760 TiresThe Starmaxx Ultra Sport ST760 is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire's high speed durability is guaranteed. It combines the asymmetric tread design and stronger structure to increase its overall performance. The compound and asymmetric pattern prevent heat build-up across the tread area, avoiding pressure accumulation along the tread. Additionally, the construction does not deform under pressure, which further boosts its performance and driving safety. Excellent summer weather traction is also guaranteed. The tread design and summer compound help to enhance the tire's dry and wet weather traction. The close road contact and better traction increase the tire's grip on the road surface in summer conditions. Stronger compound elements prevent heat build-up across the tread area. Hydroplaning in wet conditions disperses water from the footprint, significantly enhancing the tire's safer performance. Its stronger construction provides the tire's run flat capability. In other words, when air pressure drops in the tire, it still offers a limited, temporary performance. The tire can be driven on for 50 miles up to 50 mph. As a result, the vehicle will not be stranded on the road when its tires experience damage. Run flat tires are heavier. For that reason, they should not be mixed with regular tires on the same vehicle. The Starmaxx Ultra Sport ST760 also upgrades its controllability. The center ribs improve steering responsiveness and driving stability, enabling the tire's overall handling. This results in the tire's faster and more accurate steering, while the structure is secured against pressure. Shoulder blocks, with their siping placement, optimize cornering capability. The summer compound and tread design work together to decrease braking distance, by generating friction when the vehicle is stopping. 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.
