Forceum Hexa. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: High speed controllability; Enhanced maneuvering; All weather traction; . OVERVIEW: The Forceum Hexa is a high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The tire improves the surface contact throughout its performance. The directional tread design with the V-shaped block pattern ensures a closer surface contact, which improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability at all times. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The stronger compound elements effectively prevent heat build-up across the footprint, while the structure keeps the ideal tire shape under the high speed pressure affecting the tire. This combination greatly upgrades the high speed durability, ensuring the tire's high speed performing capability.The tread design's elements also upgrade the maneuvering capability. The tire is able to utilize the shoulder block pattern and the groove and siping pattern to improve the cornering and braking abilities. The shoulder block pattern firmly grips the road surface with additional biting edges, upgrading the maneuvering capability and power. The V-shaped blocks stabilize the footprint, while the grooves manage to generate friction at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire is able to securely shorten the braking distance, which offers a secure performing ability.The Hexa also guarantees exceptional all weather traction. The directional tread design and the durable all season compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The tread elements across the directional pattern manage to grip the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperature. The wider circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, optimizing the surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire effectively avoids hydroplaning and further boosts the wet weather driving safety levels. 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.
