Forceum HP202+. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Forceum HP202+ is a high performance all season tire manufactured for SUVs.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The symmetric directional tread design and the all season tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. They guarantee a secure driving experience throughout the year. The compound keeps its flexible traction even in colder temperatures, while the tread design with the optimal siping detail, upgrades the road gripping capability and power. The circumferential grooves help resist hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better traction and hydroplaning prevention provide a safer high speed performance all year round.The tread design enhances the tire's controllability and maneuvering. The tread's continuous solid center rib maintains the tire's road contact at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. This ensures a faster and more precise steering response to the driver's instructions, while it also stabilizes the structure against the driving pressure affecting the model. The optimized shoulder tread blocks upgrade the cornering and maneuvering capability and power. They offer additional biting edges that grip the road surface to provide a safer cornering ability. The optimal siping detail and lateral grooves help shorten the braking distance. They create friction at the moment of braking between the tire and the road surface which increases the braking power and makes the tire stop faster.The HP202+ ensures a great high speed performance. The directional tread design and the stronger internal structure work together to upgrade the model's high speed performance. The structure does not allow the tire to deform under the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. The directional tread design allows the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. This upgrades the tire's high speed performance and enables it to perform to its highest speed capability. 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.
