Laufenn X Fit HT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting usability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Laufenn X Fit HT is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Laufenn offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.The tire improves the all weather traction. The symmetric ribbed tread design with the ideal siping and lateral groove placement improves the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The siping and snow kerf detail along the tread area greatly enhances the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. The durable low polycyclic aromatic-hydrocarbon compound elements optimize the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures, upgrading the summer and winter weather performing safety. The zigzag groove bottoms manage to enhance the muddy and snowy surface traction. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning in wet weather situations.The footprint greatly maintains the surface contact of the ideal tread design. The internal structure's steel belts and jointless nylon reinforcement work together with the tread design's 2-step shoulder blocks and the high-stiffness center blocks to optimize the road contact, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This excellent stability allows the tire to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The durable 2-step shoulder pattern also increases the cornering ability by providing a better traction during the performance. This combination greatly improves the driver's control over the vehicle.The tire also promotes a longer lasting usability. The durable compound and the stabilized footprint ensure a slower and even wear along the footprint. The stronger compound avoids premature wear formations with the tread design, while the tread design's even pressure distribution avoids irregular wear. Furthermore, the tire also offers great damage resistance. The tread design's 2-step shoulder blocks and the structure's under-tread protective layer secure the durability by absorbing the driving shock, which avoids impact damage. On the other hand, the tread's stone ejecting groove design prevents stone retention as rocks cannot drill into the casing. This combination allows the tire to improve the overall service life.The Laufenn X Fit HT enhances the comfort levels as well. The ideal groove placement and the tread's constant surface contact greatly lessen the road noise and vibration levels. The optimized tread elements channel airwaves through the footprint, dampening their strength during the performance. In this manner, the tire greatly lowers the road and tread pattern noise levels. The tread's close road contact absorbs the shock of driving, greatly decreasing the vibrations felt by the passengers. As a result, road disturbances do not ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, guaranteeing a comfortable and quiet 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.
