Gladiator X-Comp A/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; All terrain traction; On-road driving comfort; . OVERVIEW: The Gladiator X-Comp A/T is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The symmetric detailed tread design and the all season tire compound enhance the tire's grip on the road surface. The better grip provided by the detailed pattern and the compound increase the consistent and firm grip on dry, wet and winter weather road and terrain surfaces. The tread elements heighten the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year, while the compound maintains the rubber flexibility in various conditions. The circumferential grooves and open shoulder design enhance the tire's water and slush dispersing capability. This effectively prevents hydroplaning during the model's on-road performance, guaranteeing a safer driving experience.The model's tread design also improves its all terrain performing capability. The symmetric tread pattern's large and staggered blocks, wide grooves, open shoulder design and upper sidewall tread detail work together to guarantee a secure soft, loose and uneven terrain gripping ability. These tread elements significantly increase the off-road driving safety by boosting the grip the tire has on various terrain surfaces. The upper sidewall pattern enables the model's forward motion when driving through deep mud and soft dirt. The staggered tread blocks and wide grooves maintain a clean footprint. They eject rocks and disperse mud and snow stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, the tire's footprint is not blocked from its contact with the road surface, while it also actively resists stone retention from drilling into the tire's casing.The tread design and the internal structure upgrades the tire's durability and controllability. The tire's reinforced steel belt and polyester internal structure enhance the tire's load and driving durability. This strengthened construction maintains the tire's optimal shape under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. It prevents the ideal shape's deformation under the pressure, which enhances the tire's load carrying and handling capability. This also stabilizes the tire structure against the pressure affecting it during its performance. The flat footprint's close road and terrain surface contact, on the other hand, boosts the steering responsiveness. It upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, promoting the safer controllability in all weather.The X-Comp A/T ensures a comfortable on-road drive. The polyester cord casing enables the tire to closely follow the road surface at all times. The ideal road contact absorbs the shock of driving during the tire's on-road performance. This allows the tire to upgrade the driving comfort levels. The road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin are lowered, which allows for high comfort levels. The decreased road vibrations guarantee an excellent driving enjoyment. 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.
