Lexani LXTR-203. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced high speed controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Lexani LXTR-203 is a performance all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The all season compound and the tread pattern design boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while the tread firmly grips the road surfaces at all times. the four wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The result of the excellent combination enhances the tire's year round performing capability.The constantly maintained road contact boosts the tire's controllability. The ribbed tread pattern enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering is faster and more precise in its responsiveness and the tire's structure is stabilized. The shoulder tread block pattern enhances the cornering ability and power with additional biting edges that grip the road surface. The better stability enables the model to maintain its optimal shape at all times, which upgrades its high speed performing capability.The symmetric tread pattern design manages to increase the tread life. It evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area, which manages to prevent irregular tread wear formations. As uneven wear does not appear on the tire's surface, thanks to the equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking, the tire is usable for an extended period of time. The increased tread life and usability make the tire more cost efficient.The LXTR-203 guarantees a quiet drive. The tread design features a variable pitch sequence that negates the road noise that is generated while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that cancels out the soundwaves during the drive and prevents them from reaching the vehicle's cabin. The lower road noise levels ensure 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.
