Lionhart LH-ELEVEN. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Lionhart LH-ELEVEN is a high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The silica-enhanced tire compound and specially designed asymmetric tread pattern increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The silica compound keeps its flexibility in colder temperatures and ensures first-rate traction on wet roads. The asymmetric tread pattern features a detailed siping design and parallel lateral grooves that find firm grip in all weather. The wide circumferential grooves and parallel lateral grooves actively disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint, effectively resisting hydroplaning. The better year round traction and superb hydroplaning resistance ensure a safer driving experience.The model's constant road contact improves its controllability. The three center ribs keep the tire's road contact at all times, which improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering becomes quicker and more accurate in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure. This enables the driver to confidently control the vehicle in all weather. The parallel lateral grooves and additional siping detail upgrade the braking distance. Aided by the silica compound, they create friction at the moment of braking, shortening the braking distance significantly and ensuring a secure high speed performance.The LH-ELEVEN's silica-based tire compound stabilizes the tread elements and prevents tread flexing. The stable tread elements evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area and prevent uneven tread wear formations along the tread area. The longer lasting even wear lengthens the tire's usability greatly. The prevention of tread flexing also manages to lower the road noise heard while the tires are in motion. The tread pattern is not generated as the tread elements do not shift about during the drive, resulting in a quiet and comfortable drive. 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.
