How Long does a tire inspection take?

A tire inspection can last from 15 to 30 minutes, and sometimes it can extend to even 45 minutes. This depends on the service provider, the condition of your vehicle, and the issues that are found during the inspection.

How often should I inspect my tires?

You should inspect your tires once a month, as it will help you notice the first signs of issues, enabling you to act on time and prevent them from escalating into larger problems. This is a simple and preventive step that can minimize the possibility of accidents on the road.

How do I know if my tire needs replacement?

Different reasons can prompt a tire replacement. You can perform the penny test to see if the tread of your tire is too shallow. A sidewall bulge is a sign of structural issues that can lead to a blowout. A tire with a puncture in the sidewall or shoulder area needs replacement since it cannot be fixed.

Priority Tire offers a wide range of high speed tires for sale. Federal’s Formoza FD2 is one of the most sought-after models we have in stock. This tire guarantees a secure year round traction, high speed performance, easy controllability and reduced road noise levels.

All Weather Performance

All season tires have the advantage on the tire market, as their all weather traction and driving safety make them more desirable to customers. These tires can securely perform throughout the year as their tread design and all season compound maintain a firm grip on the road surface. Their weather versatility enables them to securely perform all year.

The Formoza FD2 promotes a secure all weather traction. The tire combines its optimal tread design and silica-based tire compound to ensure a consistently firm grip on dry, wet and winter weather road conditions. This allows the tire to safely perform throughout the year. The special tread elements boost the grip the tire has on the road surface, thanks to the detailed siping and groove placement. The silica-infused compound upgrades the tire’s rubber flexibility and its resistance to weather damage. The better weather durability ensures the tire’s high speed performance in all conditions.

The tread design upgrades the model’s hydroplaning resistance. Hydroplaning happens when standing water and slush stuck on the road cuts off the tire’s contact with the surface. This causes the vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control over the vehicle. The model’s tread features wide circumferential grooves that disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint and improve the wet and winter weather traction.

Lengthened Tread Life

A longer lasting tread life is always a positive aspect a tire can have. They improve the length of time the tire can be safely used as they maintain the model’s traction and road grip for a longer period of time.

The Formoza FD2 features an extended tread life and usability. The special computer-designed tread pattern manages to stabilize the tread elements during the drive, which significantly lowers the possibility of tread flexing. This enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids the formation of irregular wear across the tread area. The longer lasting even tread wear lengthens the tire’s usability and service life.

Controllability and Handling

Tires, especially high performance models, must have quick and easy controllability for them to ensure a secure driving experience. They need to offer a stable structure and a quick and precise steering responsiveness to guarantee a first-rate control over the vehicle, as they are the only link between the road surface and the vehicle.

The Formoza FD2 promotes great controllability thanks to its tread design. The symmetric tread design features a solid continuous center rib that maintains the tire’s road contact at all times. This, along with the optimized footprint and road contact, boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the tire becomes faster and more accurate in its response to the driver’s steering instructions, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. This allows the tire to be easily controlled in all weather conditions.

The tread pattern also helps boost the cornering capability. The tread design’s shoulder blocks increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. During cornering, these biting edges firmly grip onto the road surface, which ensures a secure cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The better handling and cornering ability enable the tire’s high speed performance and driving safety.

Excellent Comfort Levels

The road noise levels heard in the vehicle’s cabin can ruin the driving comfort of the passengers. The road noise generated during the drive can easily reach the cabin and dampen the driving comfort levels. Manufacturers strive to design tires that manage to ensure high comfort levels during their performance to promote an enjoyable drive.

The Formoza FD2 was designed with variable shoulder sub-grooves in the shoulder tread design. These decrease the road noise heard while the tires are in motion. This, along with the tread’s variable pitch phase shift, lowers the road noise by generating a sound frequency that negates the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. This prevents soundwaves from reaching the vehicle’s cabin and ruining the driving experience.
