Firestone FT140 Tires
The Firestone FT140 is a touring, all season tire made for passenger vehicles.
The tire upgrades the all weather performing safety. The symmetric ribbed pattern and all season compound improve the grip on the road surface in dry, wet and winter weather conditions. The durable compound elements maintain the optimal rubber flexibility throughout the performance. The tread pattern’s grip is upgraded with the higher number of biting edges at all times. The tread’s circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. In this manner, the tire also improves the wet weather performing capability.
The stronger compound and the ideal siping placement along the tread area improve the usability. The compound elements minimize the tread wear rate with the wear-resistant elements. On the other hand, the tread pattern’s road contact enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. These elements improve the service life by resisting irregular and premature wear formations.
The tread pattern’s surface contact enhances the controllability. The road contact boosts the surface contact throughout the drive, which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The tread elements upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. The road contact of the three center ribs upgrade the braking power. These elements generate friction between the tire and the road surface in order to shorten the braking distance. This boosts the driver’s control over the vehicle throughout its performance.
The Firestone FT140’s ribbed tread design also effectively boosts the overall driving comfort levels while the tires are in motion. The tread design’s close and constant road contact allow the tire to absorb the shock of driving. In this manner, the tire lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. As a result, the tire vibrations cannot ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment, which results in a comfortable driving experience.
