Forceum D800. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Forceum D800 is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tread design and special tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and light winter weather traction. This all weather road gripping ability is guaranteed with the tread's constant road grip and the compound that maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential and smaller angled tread grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The maintained road contact and the excellent hydroplaning resistance ensure a secure performance year round.The tire's constant road contact improves its controllability. The flat footprint enables the tire to closely follow the road surface which increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire's during the drive. The larger tread blocks increase the number of biting edges that grip the road surface and ensure a safer cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The better control that the driver has over the vehicle enables them to confidently control the vehicle in all conditions.The D800 promotes an enjoyable drive. The tread design manages to closely follow the road surface in all weather. The maintained road contact decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The tread design also manages to reduce the road noise heard while the tires are in motion as the tread channel the airwaves from the tire's footprint without letting them come into contact the tread elements. The lower road noise and vibration levels ensure a comfortable and 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.
