Mastercraft Glacier MSR. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; High driving comfort levels; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Mastercraft Glacier MSR is a highway terrain, winter weather tire made for SUVs and light trucks. This model also has some commercial van sizes.The tire promotes exceptional winter weather performance. The detailed footprint and the tire's larger road contact area greatly upgrade the tire's surface traction. They provide traction on ice- and snow-covered surface by creating additional biting edges. On the other hand, the durable winter compound keeps the tire pliable throughout the year, increasing its safety. Circumferential grooves channel water and slush from the footprint, preventing hydroplaning in wet conditions. The tread's grooves also pack snow between the tread elements to further enhance snow-on-snow traction. The tread area is pinned for studs.Excellent driving comfort levels are promoted with this model. The footprint stability and the ideal sipe placement greatly lower road and tread pattern noise generated while the tires are in motion. The stable elements prevent tread flexing, which avoids sound wave formations. As road disturbances do not reach the passengers, their driving enjoyment is guaranteed.The tread design's consistent surface contact significantly increases its controllability. In this manner, the tire is able to safely improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability. Therefore, the model promotes quick and precise steering response, while the structure is stabilized. The details of the footprint help to boost its cornering and braking abilities. The shoulder blocks provide additional biting edges, enhancing the cornering power. The sipe and notch placement generates friction, shortening its braking distance. This combination enables the driver's control the vehicle at all times.The Glacier MSR offers its lengthened usability. The stable footprint's even pressure circulation actively avoids irregular and premature wear. The equally circulated forces of acceleration, cornering and braking ensure even wear across the tread area. This results in the tire's longer-lasting 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.
