Ideally, tires should be rotated every 3,000 to 5,000 miles. When this is done consistently, the tires are more likely to maintain good handling and traction and deliver maximum tread life. However, it`s important to remember that tire rotation alone cannot guard against rapid or uneven wear if your vehicle has faulty mechanical parts or improper tire inflation pressure.

• Provide good all-around traction for wet, snowy and icy road conditions
• Deliver superb treadwear & tire noise characteristics

• Enhance a vehicle's handling capabilities on wet and dry roads
• Feature larger tread elements to provide a stiff tread area for handling performance

• Bridge the gap between ALL-SEASON & Performance tires
• Combine the technology for ALL-SEASON treadwear characteristics with Performance handling & grip
• Exhibit very little tire noise and excellent ride comfort

A tire will wear out quickly if it is providing maximum grip to the road. This is due to the tread rubber being torn from the tire (on a microscopic level) while it adheres to the road surface. An excellent treadwear tire minimizes the amount of rubber being removed at the road surface, thus providing long tread life, but less road gripping traction.

A higher speed rating means reduced ride comfort because a tire capable of running at high speeds requires stiffer construction in order to provide the necessary high speed stability & durability. A Z-Speed rated tire without a service description means that the customer must consult the tire manufacturer to obtain the tire's maximum speed capability.
