Groundspeed Voyager HP. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Comfortable driving experience; High speed controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Groundspeed Voyager HP is a high performance all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The all season silica-based tire compound and the asymmetric tread design work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The asymmetric tread's optimal groove placement and individual tread blocks firmly grip the road surface throughout the year, while the compound maintains its flexible traction even in colder temperature winter weather. The tread's three circumferential grooves and optimal groove design prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The increased all weather traction and hydroplaning resistance improve the year round driving experience.The model offers a comfortable and quiet drive. The optimal groove pattern manages to lower the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The grooves channel the airwaves through the tire's footprint without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the road and tread pattern noise is not generated during the drive. The optimized groove placement also upgrades the comfort levels. The tread absorbs the shock of driving with the constant road contact, which reduces the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. In his manner, the driving enjoyment of the passengers is not ruined by road noise and vibrations.The Voyager HP offers an exceptional high speed controllability. The tread's shoulder tread design with the individual blocks boost the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. The silica-based tire compound improves the high speed performing capability. The compound resists heat build-up during the drive, which enhances the high speed performance and driving ability. As a result, the tire is capable of performing to its utmost capability. 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.
