Mesa HT . FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season performance; Improved controllability; Longer service life; Quiet driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Mesa HT is a highway terrain, all season tire made for SUVs. This model also has some passenger touring sizes available as well.The asymmetric tread design maintains the road contact all the time. As a result, this tread pattern and road contact upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is quicker and more precise to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against the pressure affecting it. The model also has wide shoulder blocks, which firmly grip the road surface and increase cornering and maneuvering.Excellent all season performance is also offered with this tread design and all seasons compound. The optimal tread pattern maintains the road contact during the performance. At the same time, the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in summer and winter temperatures. This model also prevents hydroplaning, by eliminating water and slush from the footprint. This combination of the tread design and the all season compound guarantees the tire's safe year-round performance.The model also extends its service life and usability. The asymmetric tread design evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area, while the rubber compound slows the treadwear rate down. As a result, this tread design and rubber compound prevent irregular and premature wear formations across the tread. The slow and even wear promote a longer-lasting tread life.The Mesa HT offers a quiet and comfortable ride. The asymmetric tread design is able to reduce road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. The stabilized footprint prevents airwaves from generating noise while tires are in motion, lowering road disturbances heard by the passengers. In other words, this allows the passengers to enjoy a quiet and comfortable 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.
