Starfire Solarus AP. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Extra off-road terrain grip; . OVERVIEW: The Starfire Solarus AP is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Starfire offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire ensures great all season traction. The all season compound and the detailed tread design greatly improve the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. The stronger compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, increasing the summer and winter weather grip. The tread design utilizes its sipe and notch placement to firmly grip the road surface with additional biting edges. The circumferential and lateral groove placement avoids hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions. This results in a safer year round performing power.The tread pattern with the stabilized footprint provides surface contact at all times. As a result, the tire is able to greatly upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This greatly improves the driver's control over the vehicle. The reinforced internal structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it greatly upgrades the overall load capacity.A longer lasting usability is guaranteed. The stabilized footprint and the stronger compound enhance the length of the tread life. The ribbed tread design enhances the surface contact and allows the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area. This effectively avoids irregular wear formations. The stronger compound enhances the service life by avoiding premature wear formations with the wear-resistant compound elements. The slow and even wear helps to improve the overall tread life length.The Solarus AP enhances the versatile terrain traction as well. The detailed and staggered block placement improves the different off-road terrain traction, ensuring a safer performing ability. This results in the tire's application on gravel, dirt, and farm roads, without sacrificing the tire's driving safety. 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.
