IMPORTANT: New Retread Technology. This item is a REMOLDED/RETREAD tire.Insa Turbo Ecosaver Plus. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Remolded tire model; Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient performance; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Insa Turbo Ecosaver Plus is a touring, summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.Insa Turbo tires are made in Spain. They are REMOLDED tires, which is a type of RETREAD. This means that a recycled tire casing went through the remolding process and has received a new life cycle. Remolded tires are the closest to new tires among RETREADED models. However, the tire is still not a new tire, as remolding is a RETREADING method. They do not just get a new tread area glued onto them, they receive a new sidewall and tread area, which is then cured and shaped into the desired tread pattern. These tires are DOT approved and they are guaranteed to last and to perform as well as new tires do. These tires are safer than regular retreaded models and perform as safely and successfully as new tires do. In this manner, Insa Turbo recycles old tires and contributes to lowering their carbon footprint to help save the environment.The tread design increases the tire's controllability. The symmetric tread's two continuous center ribs improve the steering responsiveness and the driving stability with the constant road contact. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread placement manages to improve the cornering ability. The rounded shoulders and the notch pattern enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering. This significantly improves the maneuvering capability and power. The result is the driver's control over the vehicle in summer weather.The tread design and summer compound boost the summer traction. The tread's ribbed and notched pattern and the summer tire compound work together to increase the grip on dry and wet conditions. The summer compound keeps the rubber flexibility and prevents heat build-up along the tread area, enhancing the summer driving safety. The tread elements, on the other hand, boost the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. The three wide circumferential grooves actively disperse water from below the footprint and avoid hydroplaning in the process. In this way, the tire guarantees a safer driving experience.The tread design also promotes a fuel efficient drive. The tread's close and maintained road contact improves the performing ability, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. As a result, the tire lowers the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the driving pressure affecting the model which determines the vehicle's needed fuel intake. Lessening the rolling resistance decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, promoting a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly performance.The Ecosaver Plus upgrades the driving comfort levels with the optimal tread design. The ideal tread channels the airwaves through the footprint, without allowing their contact with the tread elements. This prevents the formation of road and tread pattern noise, preventing them from dampening the passengers' driving enjoyment in the vehicle's cabin. This provides a quiet and comfortable performing capability. 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.
