Venezia Crusade HP. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; High speed performance; Precise steering responsiveness; Cornering ability; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Venezia Crusade HP is a high performance all season tire manufactured for passenger, sport utility and crossover vehicles.The model offers excellent road gripping ability in all weather thanks to the special kerf design and silica-based tire compound. As a result, the tire performs well in dry, wet and even in winter weather. The special tread design features four wide circumferential grooves that disperse water and slush from beneath the footprint, which not only increases the wet weather traction, but also actively prevents hydroplaning situations. The better road gripping ability ensures a safer year round traction and performing ability.The tire has great performing capability. The optimized tire shape maintains constant road contact and ensures a safer driving ability, while the tire's internal structure prevents deformation under the driving pressure. As the tire maintains its optimized shape and road contact against the driving forces, it is able to safely perform to its highest capability. The tread design further stabilizes the performance by keeping the tire's road contact constant. This is achieved by the twin center rib that increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire becomes quicker and more accurate in its response to the driver's instructions, making it more responsive.The special tread pattern offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion is lowered with the tread design. This design channels the air waves through the tire footprint without letting the them come into contact with the tread elements. As the road pattern noise is not generated during motion, the drive becomes more enjoyable.The Crusade HP's unique tread pattern ensures a safer cornering ability. The rigid shoulder block design increases the road contact and provides additional road gripping ability during cornering situations. This ensures safer cornering and maneuvering in all weather. 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.
