Armstrong Ski-Trac HP. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: ; Hydroplaning resistance; Winter weather traction; Performance tire; V-shaped tread design; ; . OVERVIEW: Armstrong Ski-Trac HP is a performance, winter weather tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire utilizes its tread design and special shoulder pattern to improve its cornering and braking abilities. The V-shaped tread design enhances the traction on ice- and snow-covered roads by closely following the surface throughout the performance. These ideal tread features guarantee the tire's high-speed performance even in harsh winter conditions. The special 3D sipes create extra biting edges, thus increasing the snow traction and securing a safe performance at all times. The tire also benefits from wide grooves that disperse water and slush away from the footprint to maintain a clean footprint and constant contact with the road surface.The model has an excellent load capacity and driving stability. The tread's ideal footprint maintains a constant road contact throughout the performance, improving the overall stability. The strong polymer compound maintains the rubber flexibility and prevents the tire from losing its optimal shape. These features contribute to the improved load capacity, which is an important thing for vehicles like SUVs.The Armstrong Ski-Trac HP is a studless tire that performs exceptionally well at high speeds in winter weather conditions. The V-shaped tread blocks alongside ideal 3D shoulder sipes guarantee an excellent performing ability on both ice- and snow-covered roads. The strong polymer compound further improves the gripping ability in various winter conditions and promotes high-speed performance and stability throughout the drive. The tire also guarantees a safe ride, thanks to the shortened braking distance and enhanced cornering ability. 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.
