Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T 97T AS A/S All Season Tire

Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Longer lasting tread life; Enhanced controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Mickey Thompson Sportsman S/T is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire offers great all weather traction. The tread design and all season compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread elements increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface while the tires are in motion. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile weather. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, which enhances the wet weather traction. In this manner, the tire guarantees a safer year round performing capability.The stronger construction maintains the ideal tire shape under the pressure affecting the model. As a result, the tire is able to closely follow the road surface, which absorbs the shock of driving. This significantly reduces the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. As the vibrations cannot dampen the passengers' driving enjoyment, this tire ensures a comfortable driving experience.The tread design's maintained road contact upgrades the handling. The close and maintained road contact of the continuous center rib enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The better contact with the road contact enhances the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread's detailed shoulder blocks increase the cornering ability. These blocks with their siping detail upgrade the cornering and maneuvering power with additional biting edges, guaranteeing a secure control over the vehicle.The Sportsman S/T promotes a longer lasting tread life. The stronger structure successfully stabilizes the tread elements. This actively prevents tread flexing while the tires are in motion. This allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations across the tread area, which significantly lengthens the tread life and usability. 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.
