Firestone Firehawk GT 185/55R15 82H AS A/S All Season Tire

Firestone Firehawk GT. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced handling; Comfortable drive; High speed performance; . OVERVIEW: The Firestone Firehawk GT is a performance all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Firestone offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with the H and V speed rated tire sizes of this tire model.The tire promotes exceptional all weather traction. The first-rate dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability is achieved with the silica-based tire compound and the asymmetric dual pattern tread design. The silica in the compound keeps the tread flexible in different weather conditions, while the all season asymmetric tread design incorporates different tread elements to ensure excellent dry, wet and winter weather traction. The tread’s wide circumferential and lateral grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. The enhances traction and hydroplaning prevention ensure a safer year round driving experience.The model’s controllability is also updated. The continuous center rib of the wider tire footprint ensures constant road contact. The better road contact enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes quick and precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the tire’s structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The wider footprint guarantees constant contact with the road surface, which also increases the number of biting edges that grip the road. The higher number of biting edges promote a stronger cornering and maneuvering ability. The improved maneuvering promotes a secure drive.The special tread design and internal structure work together to ensure a comfortable driving experience. The tread design features the special Veri-Pitch technology and a continuous center rib that optimize the tread pattern to negate the road noise. It generates a sound frequency that cancels the road noise created while the tires are in motion out and ensures a road noise free drive. The tire’s internal structure features a polyester cord body plies that enables the tire to closely follow the road surface in all weather conditions. This decreases the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin by the passengers during the drive. This combination promotes a comfortable and quiet driving experience all year.The Firehawk GT has superb high speed performance. The tire maintains its optimal shape even under the high speed driving pressure and prevents deformation. The steel belted construction and the continuous spirally wrapped nylon strands stabilize the structure and ensure a safer driving experience. As the tire does not deform under the high speed driving pressure, it is capable of performing to its highest capability. 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.
