Zeetex SU1000. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Shorter braking distance; Excellent directional stability; Superb summer traction; Comfortable drive; ; . OVERVIEW: The Zeetex SU1000 is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes too.This model is excellent for long distance driving. The computer optimized tread pattern, with the modern variable pitch design, results in low road noise, perfect for highway terrain. The design channels the soundwaves through the tread blocks on the tire, eliminating any noise that can be heard in the cabin of the vehicle. This makes the driving experience quiet and comfortable.The same special variable pitch tread design allows the tire to follow the road surface well. It offers remarkable road feedback, allowing the driver a shorter response time to different situations. Also, due to the constant road contact, the tire lowers the vibrations felt in the cabin of the vehicle, meaning a more comfortable drive.The special summer tire compound and the tread design enhance the tire's dry and wet road traction. The tire is not meant to be used in lower temperatures as it can damage the tire and is unsafe. The dry and wet road grip of the tire enable it to function to its full capacity. The circumferential grooves in the tread pattern eliminate water from under the tread and improves its hydroplaning resistance in dangerous situations.Thanks to the tread pattern the SU1000 has superb directional stability, even at higher speeds. This stability is maintained by the tread blocks located on the tire's shoulder, which provide additional biting edges and enhance the traction. The same shoulder tread blocks enhance the braking power of the tire and shorten the braking distance, making the model safer to use. 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.
