BFGoodrich Radial T/A. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The BFGoodrich Radial T/A is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The all season tire compound and optimized tread pattern design boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound does not lose its flexibility in colder temperatures, while the tread design firmly grips all road surfaces. The wide, high angle tread grooves manage to resist hydroplaning by eliminating water from below the tire's footprint. The improved road grip and hydroplaning resistance ensure a secure driving experience all year round.The optimized tread design and the special g-Wedge sidewall stabilizers enhance the model's controllability. The sidewall does not deform under the driving pressure and the tread maintains its optimal road contact, upgrading the steering responsiveness, driving stability and cornering ability. The steering is faster and more precise in its responsiveness, the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it and the shoulder tread provides additional biting edges for a safer cornering and maneuvering ability in this manner. The stronger structure also prevents deformation under the driving pressure, allowing the model to perform to its best ability with ease.The Radial T/A's optimized tread pattern also prevents irregular wear formations across the tread area and lowers the road noise levels. It evenly distributes the driving pressure across the entire tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively resists uneven tread wear on the tire's surface, extending the tread life and tire's usability. The optimized footprint does not allow road noise to generate while the tires are in motion. It channels the airwaves through the tire's footprint, without letting them come into contact with the tread elements, 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.
