Montreal Eco. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Upgraded maneuvering; . OVERVIEW: The Montreal Eco is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes great all season traction. All season compound and a detailed tread design increase the work together to greatly upgrade the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. The tread elements with the siping and groove pattern upgrade the traction with the use of extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile weather conditions. The circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint in wet weather conditions. This combination enables the tire to greatly improve the versatile weather condition performance.The tread elements also maintain the surface contact at all times. The tread design's solid center rib ensures the surface contact while the tires are in motion, greatly boosting the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the close and consistent surface contact upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands. The structure is also optimized against the driving pressure affecting the tire during the performance. This combination guarantees the driver's constant control over the vehicle, promoting a safer driving experience.The Eco improves the maneuvering ability as well. The detailed elements utilize the shoulder blocks and the angled groove and block pattern greatly upgrade the cornering and braking ability. The block pattern enhances the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, increasing the cornering and maneuvering power. The sipe and groove placement generate friction at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the overall braking distance. The combination ensures the tire's exceptional driving safety levels. 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.
