Starfire Solarus Classic. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season road grip; Increased handling; Improved comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Starfire Solarus Classic is a touring, all season tire created for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire promotes great all season traction. The ideal tread pattern and the all season compound enhance the tire's dry, wet, and light winter grip. In this manner, the optimized tread design closely follows the road surface at all times, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. Circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint in order to resist hydroplaning.Consistent road contact boosts the tire's overall controllability. The model's symmetric tread elements maintain surface contact. This allows the tire to improve steering responsiveness and driving stability, ensuring the driver's better control over the vehicle. Faster and more precise steering responses are guaranteed, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Additionally, its cornering and braking abilities are effectively increased. This is achieved with the shoulder's siping placement and the tread's friction generated when braking.The Starfire Solarus Classic guarantees a quiet drive. The model is able to negate sound waves during the drive. This is achieved with the tread pattern's variable pitch detail. It generates a special sound frequency that prevents sound waves from disturbing the passengers' driving enjoyment. As road disturbances do not reach the vehicle's cabin, the tire promotes high driving comfort levels.The sidewall aesthetic characteristic shown on the photos may differ on the actual tires. The exact width of the white wall is not guaranteed.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.
