Bearway BW168. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Heavy-duty controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Bearway BW168 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vans.This tire offers excellent all season traction, ensuring better driving safety levels. The symmetric ribbed tread design and the ideal compound blend work together and allow the tire's secure dry, wet, and winter-weather road grip. Stronger rubber flexibility keeps the tire pliable throughout the year, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions. The tread's sipe pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. Hydroplaning is also avoided thanks to the circumferential grooves that disperse water and slush from below the footprint.The symmetric ribbed tread pattern maintains surface contact at all times, increasing the tire's controllability. The footprint closely follows the road and upgrades its steering responsiveness and driving stability. Faster and more precise steering responses are guaranteed, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The reinforced internal structure helps to ensure the tire's secure heavy-duty performance. This makes sure the tire does not deform under pressure, greatly improving its overall load capacity.The BW168 features an optimized tread pattern that lowers road noise levels. This pattern manages to channel airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the tire is able to significantly lessen the possibility of sound wave formations. As road noise does not reach the vehicle's cabin, the tire ensures high driving comfort levels. There might be discrepancies of sizes between brands and models of tires which have this size formatting. As the manufacturers only provide the tire width and the rim diameter with these tires, various brands and models will have size differences. In order to ensure the correct size is purchased, the overall tire diameter that is needed should be checked.The Overall Diameter or O.D. advertised represents the tire's overall diameter in inches, once the tire has been properly inflated and mounted per the manufacturer's recommendation. This advertised number is provided to Priority Tire by the tire manufacturer.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.
