Aptany Harmonic RP203. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Vibration free drive; Precise steering responsiveness; . OVERVIEW: The Aptany Harmonic RP203 is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire provides excellent all weather road gripping ability. It increases its dry, wet and winter weather traction with the special symmetric tread pattern and firmly grips the road in all weather situations. The four wide circumferential grooves enhance the water and slush evacuating ability significantly and, as a result, actively prevent hydroplaning situations. The better water evacuation and all weather traction ensure a safer driving experience year round.The model promotes excellent controllability. Its maintained road contact enhances its cornering and braking ability and its overall performance as well. The shoulder tread blocks increase the number of biting edges during cornering and maneuvering, while the flat tire footprint shortens the braking distance. The tire's acceleration is also quicker and it ensures a more secure high speed drive. The upgraded acceleration, cornering and braking capabilities allow the driver to safely control the tire in all conditions.The shoulder tread blocks also stabilizes the tread area, which effectively prevents tread shifting during the drive. The stabilized tread area boosts the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering responsiveness to the driver's commands is quicker and more accurate as a result, while the tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire in all weather. The combination of the steering responsiveness and driving stability allows the driver to confidently control the tire in the different weather situations.The Harmonic RP203 promotes a comfortable driving experience. The shoulder tread blocks maintain road contact at all times. This lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin as the tread design closely follows the road surface and absorbs the shock of driving. The decreased road vibration levels improve the driving comfort levels significantly. 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.
