Advance GR-D2. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather road grip; Hydroplaning protection; Enhanced handling; Improved durability; Elongated tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Advance GR-D2 is a highway terrain, all weather tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It is designed to be mounted on the vehicle's drive axle positions.The winter-weather performance is assured, thanks to many blocks and their biting edges. The sipes on the central blocks also help in securing a firm snow and ice grip. The tire combats and prevents hydroplaning with its circumferential grooves and the open-shoulder design. They channel slush and water from under the footprint, securing traction. The blocks put an increased rubber area on the road, maintaining optimal dry road grip. Furthermore, the compound keeps the rubber flexible and operational in warmer and colder months. As a result, the model delivers a reliable dry, wet, and winter performance.The five-rib design ensures continual road traction. This enables even pressure circulation along the tire's circumference, improving structural stability. The ribbed blocks firmly grip the road surface with their biting edges enhancing traction and controllability. Their dense arrangement stabilizes the footprint, giving the model better balance on the highway.The radial construction makes the tire sturdier from within and allows it to balance out the pressure across the footprint. This increases resistance against pressure accumulation and tread deformation. The ribbed blocks, with their tight placement and consistent traction, upgrade pressure distribution, resulting in enhanced load durability. In other words, the model handles greater loads without sacrificing their performance.The Advance GR-D2 features a prolonged tread life. The robust construction works with the ribbed tread design to optimize pressure circulation along the tread. This also helps preserve the tire's ideal shape, which gives the model even wear on the highway. The dense placement of the blocks stabilizes the footprint, improving resilience against irregular wear. This increases the model's life greatly.All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.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.
