Petlas Explero A/S PT411. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Petlas Explero A/S PT411 is a performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model also has some touring sizes available as well.The tire greatly improves the year round performing ability. The tread elements with the optimal sipe and notch pattern and the all season compound enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. This allows the tire to greatly increase the grip with extra biting edges, boosting the year round performing power. The stronger compound keeps the flexibility of its rubber materials, greatly increasing the summer and winter traction. The circumferential groove pattern helps to prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, further boosting the wet weather traction.The asymmetric tread design with the ribbed block placement upgrades the surface contact at all times. The close and constant surface contact increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire promotes great steering response time and accuracy, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block placement with the siping placement firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, upgrading the cornering ability. The sipe and notch pattern enable the tire to upgrade the braking power, generating friction and shortening the braking distance. This combination promotes a safer controllability throughout the performance.The Explero A/S PT411 also improves the comfort levels. The computer-designed block placement greatly reduces the road noise reaching the vehicle's cabin. These tread elements enable the tire to greatly decrease the road noise heard by the passengers, preventing road disturbances from ruining the passengers' driving enjoyment. 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.
