Firestone WeatherGrip 215/55R16 SL Touring Tire

Firestone WeatherGrip. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Longer lasting tread life; All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; . OVERVIEW: The Firestone WeatherGrip is a touring, all weather tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Firestone offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire upgrades the year round performance. The directional tread design and all weather tire compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road grip. The tread’s detailed pattern increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year with additional biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile temperatures. The tread’s zigzag circumferential and angled lateral groove disperse water and slush from below the footprint, avoiding hydroplaning and boosting the wet and winter performance.The directional tread pattern upgrades the tire’s controllability. The flat footprint closely follows the road surface and increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread’s shoulder tread block placement upgrades the cornering ability. These blocks enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which increases the model’s maneuvering power. The directional tread design also boosts the braking ability. This pattern creates friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking. This shortens the braking distance greatly, guaranteeing a safer performance.The WeatherGrip offers a longer lasting tread life. The tread design upgrades the length of the tread life by optimizing the ideal surface contact in various weather conditions. The better road contact enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out force of acceleration, cornering and braking actively avoids irregular wear formations across the tire’s surface. The durable all weather compound manages to decrease the tread wear rate while the tires are in motion. The wear-resistant rubber materials and the ensured even wear, in this manner, elongate the tire’s usability and service life.All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year. 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.Below is a list of some popular vehicles that 215/55R16 tires may fit depending on Year & Option.
