Crosswind All Season. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Crosswind All Season is a performance and high performance, depending on the specific tire's speed rating, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The symmetric directional tread design with the siping detail manage to find firm grip on all dry, wet and winter weather road conditions. The tread design's constant road contact ensures a safer year round performance. Furthermore, the tread's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction work together to guarantee a safer driving experience.The model is easily controlled. The tread design's solid center rib keeps the tire's road contact constantly, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes quicker and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread blocks heighten the number of biting edges that grip the road surface during cornering and maneuvering. As a result, the tire's maneuvering capability is secure in all conditions.The special directional tread design upgrades the tire's high speed performing capability. The directional design evenly distributes the high speed driving pressure along the tread area, which prevents the deformation of its shape. The maintained optimal tire shape enables the model to perform to its best capability with ease.The All Season is manufactured with specially designed sidewalls that protect the rims from accidental curb damage.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.
