Atturo Trail Blade A/T. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; All terrain traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Atturo Trail Blade A/T is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Atturo offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The model guarantees exceptional all weather traction. The durable tire compound and the tread pattern work together to improve the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread features curved grooves, deep sipes and staggered tread blocks that maintain their grip all year, promoting a safer driving experience. The model also prevents hydroplaning by channeling water and slush from below the footprint with the circumferential grooves, while its self-cleaning nature eliminates snow stuck in the grooves. This ensures constant road contact as the tire's footprint does not get blocked from its contact with the road surface.The tire offers great all terrain traction. In other words, it is capable of performing well both on and off-road. The staggered tread blocks located on the tire's center tread area and its large shoulder tread blocks manage to firmly grip all soft, loose and uneven road surface. The maintained road contact ensures the model's all terrain performance even on harsher off-road conditions. The arched and segmented tread elements disperse mud and eject rocks stuck between the tread elements to keep the footprint clean at all times. This not only offers a constantly clean footprint that boosts the all terrain traction, but it also actively prevents stone retention, which can harm the tire's casing.The special tread elements improve the tire's controllability. The larger shoulder tread blocks upgrade the steering responsiveness and driving stability with their constant road contact both on and off-road. In this manner, 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 affecting it during the drive. The enhanced control over the tires ensures a safer driving experience as the driver can confidently control the vehicle in all weather and on all terrain conditions.The model promotes a longer lasting tread life. The special tread design and durable tire compound work together to ensures an extended even tread wear. The tread design prevents irregular tread wear formations by equally spreading the forces of accelerations, cornering and braking out across the entire tread area. On the other hand, the durable compound slows the tread wear rate down significantly. This combination ensures a lengthened tread life and tire usability, making the model more cost efficient.The Trail Blade A/T protects its rims from accidental curb and off-road damage thanks to its optimized sidewall design. 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.
