Montreal Eco-2 FEATURES AND BENEFITS All Season Traction Improved Controllability Long Service Life Eco Friendly Tire OVERVIEW The Montreal Eco-2 is a performance and high performance, all season tire created for passenger cars and SUVs. The tire features an all season rubber compound mix with additional silica and polymer. These materials enhance its adaptivity, helping it maintain its flexibility throughout the year. It provides the same high performance in various temperatures, be it in wet, winter, or dry weather conditions. This model is an ideal choice for all season use, as it prevents heat build-up even during the hot summer temperatures. The detailed tread design provides a high number of biting edges with the lateral sipes and notches. Together with the grooves, they take care of hydroplaning prevention, channeling water and slush away from the footprint. This model maintains its maneuverability at high speed thanks to its tread pattern. Its asymmetric tread features a careful siping to improve stability and controllability. The five-rib tread design sits securely on the road surface with its flat footprint throughout the performance. This way, the tire’s driving stability and steering responsiveness are significantly enhanced. The model boasts a strong structure and a wide tread, allowing the load and driving pressure to be evenly distributed. This prevents pressure buildup, which enables the tire to maximize its high speed performing power. Another advantage of the ribbed tread design is that it slows down the tread wear rate. Plus, it is made of a strong all season rubber compound that can endure plenty of traction in the long term. The tread is also asymmetric, which ensures stability and even distribution of driving pressure across the five ribs. Since all the pressure circulates evenly on the tread, it prevents irregular wear formations and extends service life. The silica and polymer in the compound help the tire keep the heat generated at bay during driving, preventing premature wear. The five-rib tread pattern plays a huge role in equalizing the load or driving pressure that gets applied to the tire. With a heat-resistant compound, even more pressure can be eased off the tread footprint. This results in a lower rolling resistance, which makes the tire eco-friendlier. It requires less fuel intake, which also means lower CO2 emission levels. This makes the Eco-2 an ideal choice for an environmentally friendly driving experience. 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.
