Supermax TM-1. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Supermax TM-1 is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Supermax offers a 45,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The model offers great all weather road gripping ability. The all season tire compound and the detailed symmetric tread design work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The symmetric pattern's optimal continuous ribs and detailed siping pattern heighten the number of biting edges firmly gripping the road surface throughout the year. The additional biting edges improve the driving safety as they enhance the ice and snow traction as well. The circumferential grooves and open shoulders disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint. In this manner, the tire actively prevents hydroplaning and upgrades the wet and winter weather traction.The tire promotes a comfortable drive. The symmetric tread design sports a flat footprint, which closely follows the road surface. The better road contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving while it is in motion. This prevents road vibration formations and, as a result, the road vibrations are not felt in the vehicle's cabin during the drive. The lowered road vibrations guarantee high comfort levels and an enjoyable driving experience.The TM-1 improves its controllability with the improved road contact. The symmetric tread's continuous center ribs maintain the tire's contact with the road surface at all times, which enhances the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model guarantees a quicker and more precise steering response to the driver's instructions and it secures its structure to upgrade the stability. The optimal shoulder tread blocks increase the number of biting edges during cornering and boost the cornering and maneuvering capability. The better control and maneuvering ability provides a safer 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.
