Armstrong Ski-Trac S 235/65R18 110T XL Winter Tire

Armstrong Ski-Trac S. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Winter weather traction; Upgraded controllability; Improved driving durability; Studdable tread area; . OVERVIEW: The Armstrong Ski-Trac S is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.The optimized pattern and the winter compound increase the tire’s winter traction. The ideal tread design, with the siping detail and the wide grooves, promotes great grip on ice- and snow-covered roads. These elements enable the tire to maintain consistent road contact and promote a safe performance. This tread pattern is also pinned for studs, which enables better traction on icy and snowy roads. This winter compound also keeps the rubber flexible in cold winter temperatures and does not allow the tire tread to deform in freezing conditions. Also, the tread has wide circumferential grooves, which eliminate water and slush from below the footprint and prevent hydroplaning.The model provides excellent high speed durability. The ideal tread design closely follows the road surface even at high speeds and prevents pressure accumulation, while the robust internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under driving pressure. Also, the heat-resistant compound protects the tire from heat build-up along the tread area, further optimizing the tire’s high speed performance. This improves driving durability.The Armstrong Ski-Trac S’s controllability is ensured at all times. The tread’s directional pattern enables the tire to upgrade steering responsiveness and driving stability. This offers a quick and precise steering response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. As a result, the tire greatly improves the tire’s overall handling and maneuvering.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.
