OVERVIEW
The Firestone WeatherGrip is a touring, all season 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 season tire compound enhance the dry, wet and winter weather road grip. The treads 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 treads 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 tires 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 drivers commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The treads shoulder tread block placement upgrades the cornering ability. These blocks enhance the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which increases the models 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 tires surface. The durable all season 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 tires usability and service life.
