Delinte DX-11 Bandit H/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Delinte DX-11 Bandit H/T is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Delinte offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire offers great all weather traction. The all season tire compound and the symmetric tread design increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The compound keeps its rubber flexibility throughout the year, including in colder winter weather. The tread pattern firmly grips the road surface all year round, even when the tire is being driven on ice and snow-covered road surfaces. The tread's circumferential traction grooves avoid hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and all season traction ensures a secure driving experience.The tire provides excellent controllability. The tread design features a continuous siped center rib that enhances the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability by maintaining a constant road contact. The tread design improves the steering response time and accuracy, while it stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The closed shoulder tread pattern enhances the cornering capability. The shoulder tread detail heightens the number of biting edges gripping the road surface at all times, which boosts the cornering and maneuvering power. Furthermore, the tread's circumferential traction grooves manage to shorten the braking distance. They create friction at the moment of braking between the tire and the road surface which upgrades the tire's braking power, and ensures a secure performance.The DX-11 Bandit H/T enhances the comfort levels as well. The tire features a closed shoulder tread pattern which decreases the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. They prevent airwaves from entering the tire's footprint and coming into contact with the tread elements. As a result, the road noise is not generated during the drive and it guarantees a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. 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.
