GT Radial IcePro LT3 . FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Upgraded maneuvering; . OVERVIEW: The GT Radial IcePro LT3 is a highway terrain, winter tire manufactured for light trucks.This model guarantees exceptional winter weather applications. The detailed tread elements feature a square shoulder design, optimized locking sipes, channel traction edges, dual traction lugs and staggered tread elements to boost the dry, wet, and winter weather performance. They ensure the tire's performance through deep snow, while also providing additional biting edges for ice-covered surfaces. Durable compound elements help to upgrade the rubber flexibility, optimizing the freezing traction. Straight and zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning as they disperse water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions. Additionally, the tread is pinned for studs.Better road contact enhances the controllability as well. The zigzag center rib enables the tire's close and consistent surface contact, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire is able to ensure its steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This combination ensures safer handling, which upgrades the driver's constant control over the vehicle.The IcePro LT3 also manages to upgrade its maneuvering with the versatile tread elements. The square shoulders with the individual block detail, and their siping placement, firmly grip the road with extra biting edges. They help to effectively enhance the tire's overall cornering ability. The detailed siping placement and zigzag groove detail work together to improve the braking ability. They generated friction during braking, significantly shortening the overall braking distance. 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.
