Firestone WeatherGrip Tires
The Firestone WeatherGrip is a touring, all weather tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The manufacturer offers a 65,000 mile warranty with this model. It is winter weather certified with the 3PMS symbol. This is achieved with the directional tread design and the durable compound. The tread actively prevents uneven wear with the even pressure distribution, while the compound decreases the wear rate with the wear-resistant rubber elements.
The tread design and all weather compound increase the all weather traction. The detailed directional tread block placement increases the grip in dry, wet and winter weather conditions with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in versatile weather. The circumferential and angled lateral grooves eliminate water and slush from the footprint to avoid hydroplaning.
The Firestone WeatherGrip increases the controllability with the directional tread design. The tread’s close surface contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The shoulder tread blocks increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. This significantly enhances the cornering ability and power. The directional pattern also increases the braking ability. Its better road contact allows the tire to create friction between the tire and the road surface at the moment of braking. In this manner, the tire is able to reduce the braking distance, guaranteeing a safer performing capability.
- ControllabilityThe directional tread’s road contact boosts the tire’s handling, maneuvering and braking ability with extra biting edges.
- All weather tireThe stronger compound and ideal tread pattern upgrades the dry, wet and winter weather traction and prevent hydroplaning.
- Longer tread lifeThe ensured even and slower tread wear rate of the directional tread pattern lengthens the tread life and the tire’s usability.
