Thunderer City R202. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Comfortable drive; All weather traction; Enhanced handling; Shorter braking distance; . OVERVIEW: The Thunderer City R202 is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The special all season tire compound and the symmetric four-rib tread design grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. The compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperature conditions, while the tread's firm road grip improves the performance. The tread design's three wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire's footprint. The enhanced road gripping ability and the hydroplaning resistance ensure a safer year round driving experience.The tread pattern also increases the model's controllability. The four-rib tread design maintains a constant road contact, which ensures exceptional handling in all weather. The result is a quicker and more precise steering responsiveness to the driver's commands and a stabilized tire structure against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The optimized symmetric tread design manages to create friction at the moment of braking. It increases the road grip to shorten the braking distance. The friction between the tire and the road when braking allows the tire to stop shorter and offers a safer drive.The City R202 guarantees a comfortable drive. The special tread design negates the road noise. The tread pattern's variable pitch sequence cancels the road noise out while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that decreases the road and tread noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The tire's internal structure features a jointless spiral overlay that optimizes the tire's shape. It does not let the tire's structure deform under the driving forces and allows the model to closely follow the road surface at all times. The result is an enjoyable and quiet performance. 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.
