GT Radial Champiro HPY 205/45R17, Summer, High Performance tires.

Features and Benefits: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable performance; GT Radial Champiro HPY TiresThe GT Radial Champiro HPY is a high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire promotes a secure summer weather performance. The silica-fused compound and the asymmetric tread design increase the dry and wet traction. The compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility and prevent heat build-up along the footprint. The tread elements' better road contact optimizes the grip on the road surface in summer weather situations. The tread design's inner area and the circumferential grooves manage to prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint, actively boosting the wet weather traction. The maintained road contact is ensured with the tread design's solid center rib. It keeps the tire's close surface contact in order to boost the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, it guarantees a quicker and more precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The outer shoulder tread pattern with the siping placement increases the cornering ability. They provide extra biting edges, which boosts the cornering and maneuvering capability. This tread design and the stronger silica compound increase the high speed durability. They prevent heat build-up and ease the pressure off the tire, enabling the tire to safely perform at its best high speed capability. The GT Radial Champiro HPY improves the comfort levels as well. The asymmetric tread design reduces the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The tread channels the airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. This minimizes the road disturbances from being felt in the vehicle's cabin, promoting a quiet and enjoyable driving experience. 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.
