GT Radial Champiro Ecotec. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season performance; Enhanced controllability; Fuel-efficient performance; Comfortable driving experience; . OVERVIEW: The GT Radial Champiro Ecotec is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.The tire provides a fuel-efficient performacne. The asymmetric tread design and the special silica compound ease the pressure off the tire. This allows the tire to reduce the rolling resistance, which is the pressure affecting the tire determining the vehicle's needed fuel intake levels. By lowering the rolling resistance, the tire manages to decrease the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for a fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly driving experience.The asymmetric tread pattern and the special silica compound boost its controllability and driving stability. This tread design firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. This increases the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while the structure is stabilized against driving pressure. At the same time, cornering and braking are upgrades. This gives the driver full control over the vehicle and guarantees a safe driving experience.Excellent year-round performance is ensured with this tire. The asymmetric tread pattern maintains road contact at all times, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. This combination significantly increases the tire's performance in dry, wet, and winter conditions. The optimal grooves help the tire to prevent hydroplaning. They eliminate water and slush from the footprint in wet situations for a safer performance.The GT Radial Champiro Ecotec offers a comfortable driving experience. The ideal tread pattern and close contact with the diving surface lower the road and the tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. The footprint channels airwaves away, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elemetns and generating noise. On the other hand, the special silica compound absorbs the shock of the ride, which effectively reduces the road vibrations felt by the passengers. As a result, noise and vibrations cannot ruin the passengers' enjoyment while the tires are in motion.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.
