Otani MK2000. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Heavy load durability; . OVERVIEW: The Otani MK2000 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vans.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The symmetric tread pattern and the all season tire compound work together to ensure the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The tread elements, with the optimal siping and notch detail, increase the tire's grip on the road surface to provide a safer drive. The compound, on the other hand, maintains the rubber flexibility in various conditions, including in colder temperatures, and actively prevents heat build-up during the drive. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and increase the wet and winter weather traction and performing capability.The tire's tread design and durable construction improve its controllability. The continuous center ribs closely follow the road surface at all times, while the structure improves the construction's stability. The tread's road contact enhances the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while the stronger structure secures and stabilizes the tire against the driving pressure. The optimal square shoulder pattern increases the cornering capability. Their close road contact and the biting edges they provide increase the tire's maneuvering capability and driving safety.The MK2000 offers a stronger performance. The reinforced steel belt construction maintains the tire's optimal shape under the driving and load pressure affecting the model. The strengthened structure is able to carry and withstand heavy loads without the deformation of the optimal tire shape. The better durability upgrades the load durability which improves the tire's commercial application. The heavy load handling capacity enables the tire to be used on delivery vehicles. 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.
