TBC Wild Spirit HST. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The TBC Wild Spirit HST is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. TBC offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire offers excellent all weather traction. The model combines the high-silica compound and symmetric ribbed tread design work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather grip on the road surface. The tread design, with the siping pattern, boosts the grip on the road surface throughout the year with extra biting edges, while the silica compound keeps the rubber flexibility in different temperatures. The tread's circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, enhancing the wet and winter weather driving safety levels.The tread design's symmetric ribbed pattern and wider flat footprint improve the controllability. The tread's optimized surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the tire boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The shoulder tread pattern offers additional biting edges gripping the road surface during maneuvering, which ensures a secure cornering capability. These tread elements guarantee a secure performing capability throughout the drive.The Wild Spirit HST helps boost the comfort levels while the tires are in motion. The tread's maintained close road contact enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving during the drive. In this manner, the tire significantly lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. The shoulder pattern's closed design reduces the road noise levels heard by the passengers. The tread elements prevent airwaves from entering the footprint and generating soundwaves, which may disrupt the driving enjoyment of the passengers. This combination provides a quiet and comfortable 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.
