Vee Rubber Taiga A/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All terrain traction; All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Decreased road vibrations; . OVERVIEW: The Vee Rubber Taiga A/T is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.The tire promotes great all terrain traction. The tire's staggered tread elements and optimal groove placement work together to enable the tire to conquer soft, loose and uneven terrain surface conditions. The tread design's terrain gripping ability is further ensured with the tire's maintained clean footprint. The tread elements eliminate mud and snow and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, the tire prevents its footprint from being blocked from its contact with the road surface, while they also resist stone retention, which can cause harm to the tire's casing. The better off-road traction and constantly clean footprint guarantee a secure performance both on- and off-road.The tread pattern design and the all season tire compound improves the all weather traction. They provide a secure dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread pattern's elements find firm grip all year round both on- and off-road, while the all season compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The tread's zigzag circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and the excellent all weather traction offer a secure year round driving experience.The tire maintains its road contact at all times. This optimal road contact manages to improve the tread life and it provides a comfortable driving experience. The constant road contact upgrades the tread life by actively resisting irregular tread wear formations on the tire's tread area. The model evenly spreads out the force of acceleration, cornering and braking to lengthen the tread life and the tire's usability. The better road contact enables the tire to closely follow the road surface and absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. This decreases the road noise levels felt in the vehicle's cabin, guaranteeing a quiet and comfortable driving experience.The Taiga A/T features a chunky continuous center rib that keeps the tire's road contact at all times. This contact boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. As a result, the tire enables the driver to confidently control the vehicle in all weather. 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.
