Maxxis MA-1. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Comfortable driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Maxxis MA-1 is a touring summer tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Maxxis offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The model offers great controllability. The tread designs constant road contact and the reinforced steel belt internal structure increase the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The maintained road contact boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the drivers commands. The steel belt structure stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the tire while they are in motion. The increased steering response and stability enable the driver to confidently control the vehicle in all weather conditions.The symmetric tread design and the summer tire compound work together to increase the tires summer weather traction. They firmly grip the road surface in dry and wet weather conditions and ensure a safer driving experience. The special silica compound prevent heat accumulation on the tread area in warm summer temperatures. The wide circumferential groove and open shoulder pattern disperse water from below the tires footprint. This effectively resists hydroplaning and improves the wet weather road gripping capability.The tires internal structure features a stronger steel belt construction that stabilizes the structure and the tread area. The stable tread elements, in this manner, prevent tread flexing which allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking effectively lengthen the tread life and the tires usability, making the model more cost efficient.The MA-1 guarantees a comfortable driving experience. The structures jointless spiral wrapped full nylon cap keeps the tires optimal shape and prevents deformation under the driving pressure. In this manner, the tire is capable of closely following the road surface, which absorbs the shock of driving. This decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicles cabin while the tires are in motion. The tread designs grooves and optimal block placement reduces the road noise levels heard. They channel the airwaves through the tires footprint without allowing them to come into contact with the tread elements. As a result, the road and tread pattern noise is not generated during the drive, guaranteeing an enjoyable performance. 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.
