Achilles Touring Sport A/S. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Enhanced controllability; All season performance; Comfortable driving experience; Upgraded driving durability; . OVERVIEW: The Achilles Touring Sport A/S is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some high performance tire sizes available as well. Achilles offers a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.High speed controllability is guaranteed with this tread design. The symmetric tread pattern keeps the surface contact at all times, by maintaining surface contact at all times. This enables the tire to firmly grip the road surface, upgrading steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, these elements increase steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Cornering and maneuvering are upgraded as well. At the same time, the special siping detail shortens the braking distance by creating friction. These elements ensure the driver's full control over the vehicle.Better dry, wet, and winter grip is guaranteed with this model. The tread design and the all season compound boost dry, wet, and winter-weather grip on the road surface. The tread's siping and notch placement firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in versatile temperatures. The groove pattern helps to prevent hydroplaning, by eliminating water and slush from the footprint. This significantly upgrades the model's wet-weather driving safety levels.This model offers exceptional driving durability. The heat-resistant compound elements work together with the reinforced internal structure to boost its performance. Stronger compound elements prevent heat build-up across the tread area, while the structure does not deform under high speed pressure. As a result, the tire can safely perform during its high speed applications.The Achilles Touring Sport A/S offers high driving comfort levels. This tread design and its constant contact with the driving surface reduce road and tread noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The footprint channels airwaves throughout the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements. This enables the passengers to enjoy a quiet performance by resisting sound wave formations.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.
