At 100 kilometres per hour, an average-sized tyre rotates 850 times per minute. Due to this, even slight variations in wheel balance, sidewall stiffness or roundness of the tyre can cause the wheel to physically slam into the road surface 14 times per second.
Modern high-performance vehicles and SUVs with large tyres are extremely sensitive to wheel, tyre and surface feedback, manifesting in poor ride quality and annoying vehicle vibration. Excessive wheel vibration can also result in accelerated tyre wear, and damage to suspension and steering components.
The touring tyre offers an optimised design to provide a balanced all –round performance backed by the proven dependability of Firestone.
Control
Optimized design to maximize dry, wet handling and braking by improving uniform block ground contact.
Durability
Strong Ply Construction enhances sidewall cut durability and a layer that protects against penetration.
Reduced Vibration
Block Sizes Combination eliminate tyre vibration for better irregular wear resistance.
