The ZLine A/S features a silica-rich rubber compound with Cooling Edge technology for heat dispersal, low rolling resistance for fuel efficiency, an all-season tread with deep circumferential grooves to resist hydroplaning, and Nokian’s Comfort Base compound for a comfortable, quiet, cushiony ride.
The new generation of an all season tire combining superior quality with a highly efficient all weather touring design. The Tourmax GFT packages ride comfort, all weather traction and improved handling to create our best tire value. Designed for today’s sedans, compact cars, and minivans.
The Bridgestone Turanza Quiettrack is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Bridgestone offers an 80,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The tire promotes high driving comfort levels. It was designed with Bridgestones QuietTrack technology which provides a detailed computer-optimized tread pattern to lower the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicles cabin. The tread features in-groove quiet tracks, optimized shoulder slots and a variable pitch sequence that work together to decrease the road noise generated during the drive. They dampen and cancel the road and tread pattern noise out before they can ruin the passengers driving enjoyment. On the other hand, the models steel belt reinforced polyester casing keeps its optimal shape under the driving pressure, while the ComfortCruise Technologys computer designed rounder footprint keep the tires contact with the road surface. This enables the tires close road contact, which allows it to absorb the shock of driving. This ensures that the road vibrations are not felt while the tires are in motion. As a result, the model guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
The detailed asymmetric tread pattern and the all season tire compound improve the all weather traction. The asymmetric tread pattern was designed with a high number of zigzag sipes on the tread blocks and the EdgePerformance Technologys interlocking grooves pattern. This allows the tire to offer additional biting edges that firmly grip the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather, especially when driving on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The all season compound keeps the tires traction in various conditions, from the heat of summer to colder winter conditions and it optimizes the tires rubber flexibility all year. The circumferential grooves and ideal shoulder slots of the rounded footprint manage to prevent hydroplaning. They increase the models water and slush dispersing capability and guarantee a secure year round performance.
The models ideal footprint and asymmetric tread pattern improve the controllability and performance. The rounder road contact patch maintains the tires road contact at all times during the tires performance. This significantly improves the steering responsiveness and its driving stability. This results in a faster and more precise steering responsiveness to the drivers instructions, while it secures the structural stability against the driving pressure. The shoulder tread block placement with the siping detail improves the tires grip on the road surface during cornering. These tread elements improve the number of biting edges gripping the road to boost the maneuvering capability and ensure a safer drive.
The Turanza Quiettrack ensures a lengthened tread life. The optimal tread design and rounded footprint work together to enable the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally distributed force of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids the formation of irregular tread wear along the tires surface. This is combined with the full-depth siping detail, which guarantees the tires excellent all weather traction throughout its lifetime, even when the tire is worn out. The result is an extended usability and service life.
The Firestone FR710 is designed to provide passenger cars with touring-tire comfort and performance at an affordable price. The FR710’s continuous shoulder ribs and flow-through slots allow for long, even wear and traction in wet or dry weather, while a wide, flat footprint that enhances cornering. A long-link carbon tread compound provides durability and long wear, and the FR710’s single strand of cable allows an improved bead seal to prevent premature and unnecessary wear. Additionally, the FR710 is backed by a 65,000 mile limited manufacturer tread life.
The Continental TrueContact Tour tire delivers excellent traction and handling along with higher resistance to wear. This robust tire features Continentals EcoPlus technology that reduces tread wear and increases fuel efficiency. Visual indicators provide a regular reminder of the tread depth while the alignment verification system shows when to realign. The Comfort Ride technology improves ride comfort and minimizes road noise while the siping enhances grip on wet and light snow surfaces.
Laufenn’s I FIT ICE LW71 is a studdable winter tire that’s meant for use on coupes, sedans, CUVs, SUVs, and minivans and features a directional tread pattern and winter specific rubber compound that work together to boost traction and performance on icy and snowy roads. Able to be pinned with studs, where permitted, to enhance traction in severe winter weather, the I FIT ICE LW71’s 3D kerfs minimize tread block movement for sure-footed grip and handling on icy roads. Additionally, the I FIT ICE LW71 features Aqua Slants within the grooves that force water out of the tread to reduce the risk of hydroplaning on slippery roads.
