Maxxis Bravo Series HT-770. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Reduced road noise levels; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Maxxis Bravo HT-770 is a highway terrain all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Maxxis offers a 60,000 mile warranty with SUV sizes of this tire model.The tire promotes great all weather traction. The ribbed tread pattern features a detailed ripple sipe design that firmly grips the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather. Furthermore, the all season tire compound manages to maintain its optimal flexibility even in colder temperatures which ensures the tire's exceptional traction. The special dual circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The enhanced hydroplaning resistance and all weather traction guarantee a secure driving experience all year.The tread pattern optimizes the tire's footprint. It increases the road contact area by providing a flatter tire footprint. This improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability greatly. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure. The wide shoulder tread block pattern upgrades the cornering ability and power with the additional biting edges the blocks offer in such situations. The result is a safer controllability in all weather.The tire increases the comfort levels as well. The tread design guarantees low road noise levels throughout the tire's lifetime. The closed shoulder tread pattern prevents the airwaves from entering the tire's footprint and coming into contact with the tread elements. This decreases the possibility of road and tread pattern noise while the tires are in motion. On the other hand, the special multi-pitch variation negates the remaining road noise with the noise-cancelling sound frequency it generates. In this manner, the tire ensures that no road noise reaches the vehicle's cabin.The Bravo HT-770's flat footprint ensures an extended tread life. It keeps the tire's road contact at all times, which manages to evenly distribute the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking across the tread area. The equally spread out driving pressure effectively resists irregular tread wear formations on the tire's surface and guarantees a longer lasting tread life and tire usability. 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.
