Forerunner Wave. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Turf terrain traction; All season traction; Enhanced controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Forerunner Wave is an all season tire manufactured for lawn mowers and garden tractors.This model promotes great turf traction and turf-friendly performance. The optimized footprint and the ideal tread design improve soft traction while the tires are in motion. The soft traction minimizes the pressure affecting the driving surface, which prevents the tire from harming the turf and grass fields. This tire is perfect for lawn mowers, as the tread design will not damage the grass field during its performance.All season traction is promoted with this model as well. The all season compound and ideal tread block pattern enhance the dry, wet, and winter weather grip. This combination helps to ensure the tire's secure application throughout the year. The tread elements provide additional biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in summer and winter. Due to this, the tire is perfect for ATVs and UTVs used in patrol and industrial applications.The Forerunner Wave helps to improve the handling. The stabilized S-shaped block pattern maintains surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire is able to upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability. This helps to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. This combination helps the tire significantly to improve its controllability.This is a bias ply tire. Due to the tire's internal construction and size, it is possible that the tire will look deformed. Smaller bias ply tires do not have reinforced constructions that can keep the tire from deforming. The bias construction and the small tire's non-reinforced internal structure allow the tire to fold in when it is deflated or not properly inflated. This is not constructional damage or an issue; it is a normal occurrence with such tires. In such cases, the tire needs to be mounted and inflated to the proper PSI or, in some instances, an inner tube needs to be added. The proper PSI and the inner tube are able to maintain the tire's ideal shape, preventing the bias plies from looking deformed. This ensures their performing safety and durability.The photo is a representation of the tire's possible deformation, it does not represent the specific tire model, size, tread pattern and application.This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction.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.
