Firestone Firehawk GT Pursuit 108V AS A/S All Season Tire

Firestone Firehawk GT Pursuit. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; Reduced road noise levels; . OVERVIEW: The Firestone Firehawk GT Pursuit is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire shape, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire guarantees first-rate all weather traction. The tread design and the all season tire compound increase the tire's road gripping capability throughout the year. The asymmetric tread pattern with the optimal siping and notch detail maintains the tire's grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather, while the compound keeps the tire's rubber flexibility in all weather. The tire's circumferential grooves and open shoulder detail improve the hydroplaning resistance. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint, boosting the wet and winter weather performance significantly.The tread design improves the tire's controllability. The asymmetric tread's two continuous center ribs closely follow the road surface and keep the model's constant road contact. The better contact with the road surface upgrades the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instruction, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The constant road contact and the stronger tread elements prevent heat build-up during the drive. This allows the tire to perform at its greatest high speed capability and power in all weather.The tire ensures a comfortable drive. The tread design features a variable pitch sequence that decreases the road and tread pattern noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. The pitch sequence creates a sound frequency that negates the road and tread pattern noise at the moment they are generated. This prevents them from reaching the vehicle's cabin and ruining the driving enjoyment of the passengers. As a result, the tread promotes an enjoyable and quiet driving experience.The Firehawk GT Pursuit guarantees a lengthened tread life. The asymmetric tread design's optimized road contact balances the driving pressure distribution during the drive. In other words, the tread allows the tire to equally spread out the force of acceleration, cornering and braking along the tread area. This allows the tire to boost the length of the tread life and the tire's usability, elongating the tire's service life. 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.
