Armstrong ASR+. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Armstrong ASR+ is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. This model was made for the vehicle's steer axle.All season traction is ensured with the durable compound and the detailed tread design. The ribbed tread design, with the optimal sipe pattern and solid shoulder ribs, and the all season compound enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather traction. The stronger compound elements improve the rubber flexibility throughout the performance, boosting the summer and winter weather traction. The tread elements firmly grip the road surface with extra biting edges. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning, promoting a safer wet weather traction.The solid shoulder rib enables the tire to upgrade the surface contact at all times. The ribbed pattern greatly upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire promotes great steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This combination guarantees the driver's better and constant surface contact, which significantly improves the overall driving safety levels.The ASR+ also improves its service life. The ribbed tread design with the solid ribbed pattern, and the all season compound enable the tire to upgrade the tread life. The tread elements ensure even pressure circulation across the tread area, preventing irregular wear formations. The stronger compound prevents premature wear by utilizing the wear-resistant rubber materials. The ribbed pattern and the knob placement avoid stone retention from harming the casing. Stone retention is avoided during the performance, preventing it from shortening the 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.
