Thunderer Mach V. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; High speed controllability; High driving comfort levels; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Thunderer Mach V is a high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Thunderer offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire upgrades the all weather traction. The asymmetric tread design and the durable all season compound boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound's silica-infused rubber materials maintain their flexibility in various conditions. The asymmetric tread's optimal pattern improves the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which enhances the dry, wet and winter surface traction and guarantees high driving safety levels. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint. This combination enhances the year round driving safety.The tread design also boosts the model's controllability. The tread's asymmetric ribbed pattern upgrades the tire's surface contact, which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. 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 optimal traction and the all season compound's durability work together to keep the tire cool by preventing heat build-up along the tread area. This, along with the stronger construction's resistance to deformation, allows the tire to securely perform at its greatest high speed capability. The result is a secure high speed performance as the tire maintains the driver's control over the vehicle at all times.The asymmetric tread design also improves the comfort levels throughout the drive. The tread features a variable phase shift, which cancels out the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. The tread, in this manner, generates a special sound frequency. This frequency successfully negates the road and tread pattern noise created, before they can reach the vehicle's cabin and ruin the passenger's driving enjoyment. This results in a quiet and comfortable driving experience.The Mach V enhances the length of the tread life with the tread design and the tire compound. The asymmetric ribbed tread design sports a flat footprint which maintains the tire's close road contact at all times. In this manner, the tire manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area, actively resisting irregular wear formations. The durable tire compound, on the other hand, keeps the rubber flexibility and reinforces the tire against premature wear. This combination guarantees the tire's lengthened usability and service life. 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.
