Lionhart LH-EIGHT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Vibration free driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The Lionhart LH-EIGHT is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The model offers a longer lasting tread life and excellent durability. Its internal structure features twin steel belts and polyester plies reinforced with dual nylon caps. This construction prevents the tire's shape from deforming under the driving pressure affecting the tire during high speed performance, enabling the tire to perform to its best capability. The maintained optimal shape manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out force of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthens the tread life by preventing irregular tread wear formations across the tire's surface. The better high speed durability and elongates tire tread life ensure a long lasting usability.The tire is easily controlled in all weather. The tread design features a continuous solid center rib and isolated shoulder tread blocks that keep the tire's road contact at all times. The center rib's better road contact increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability, in other words the tire's overall controllability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's instructions, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it during the drive. The shoulder tread blocks boost the cornering ability and power by heightening the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface during maneuvering. The safer controllability and cornering capability enable the driver to confidently control the vehicle.The tire promotes a safer all weather performance. The symmetric tread design and the all weather tire compound work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The tread elements firmly grip the road, while the compound maintains its flexibility and provides excellent traction even in colder and wet weather. The tread's main circumferential and angled lateral grooves resist hydroplaning to guarantee a secure drive. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and keep the tire's road contact at all times. The upgraded all weather road grip and hydroplaning resistance provide first-rate driving security.The LH-EIGHT ensures a comfortable drive. The internal structure's polyester plies enable the tire to closely follow the road surface at all times. The tire's close road contact absorbs the shock of driving, which decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion. This results in a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. 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.
