Ohtsu FP7000. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Ohtsu FP7000 is a performance and high performance all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The non-directional tread design improves the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tire maintains its excellent road grip in all weather and ensures a safer driving experience year round. The wide circumferential and numerous lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by efficiently eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire footprint. The better hydroplaning resistance and superb all weather traction ensure a more secure drive.The model's high-tension carcass enhances its controllability. The upgraded carcass maintains its optimal contact with the road, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability greatly. The tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model and its steering responsiveness and accuracy are guaranteed as well. The tire is quick and precise in its responsiveness to the driver's instructions and it greatly improves the model's handling. The tread design's shoulder tread blocks also ensure a safer drive. They promote additional biting edges in all weather, which allows a more secure cornering and maneuvering ability and power.The tire offers a longer lasting tread life. The rotation indicators visually represent when the tires need to be rotated. This allows the driver to rotate the tires at the correct time to ensure an extended tread life. The non-directional tread design also manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread surface, preventing irregular wear in the process. As a result, the tread wear is slower and even at all times, extending the tire's usability and tread life.The FP7000 guarantees a quiet and comfortable drive. The optimized tread pattern features a variable pitch sequence created with the tread blocks. The variable pitch creates a sound frequency that negates the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The lowered road noise levels promote an enjoyable 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.
