Nika Avatar. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; High speed controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Nika Avatar is a performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire upgrades the all weather traction. The all season compound and asymmetric tread design improve the dry, wet and winter weather grip. The all season compound keeps the rubber flexibility in different weather situations, upgrading the summer and winter weather performance. The tread design with the siping pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, increasing the year round traction. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, resulting in a secure wet weather drive.The tread design and the stronger compound to improve the high speed controllability. The maintained surface contact of the asymmetric tread design increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The siping pattern across the tread area upgrades the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. These sipes generate friction at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the braking distance. The heat-resistant compound and the stronger internal structure work together to upgrade the high speed durability. As a result, the tire greatly upgrades the high speed performing safety.The Avatar enhances the comfort levels while the tires are in motion. The tread design features multiple pitch variations across the footprint, which generate a sound-cancelling frequency. This frequency cancels the sound waves during the performance, preventing them from reaching the vehicle's cabin. As road disturbances are not felt by the passengers, the tire promotes a quiet driving experience. 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.
