Touring, all season tires combine weather versatility and high driving comfort levels throughout their performance. This combination makes them perfect for longer drives, as they will maintain the driving comfort levels without sacrificing their controllability.

Here at Priority Tire, we offer various touring, all season tires for passenger vehicles and SUVs. One such model is the Kelly Edge A/S. This tire boosts the all weather traction, enhances the controllability, heightens the comfort levels and even comes with a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty offered by Kelly.

ALL WEATHER PERFORMANCE

All season traction

All season tires promote excellent year round performing safety. These tires combine great dry, wet and winter weather traction by utilizing their tread design and all season compound. As a result, all season tires offer excellent weather versatility.

The Edge A/S combines its optimized tread pattern and all season compound to increase the all weather traction. The asymmetric ribbed tread design with the ideal siping detail boosts the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the drive. The compound, on the other hand, manages to maintain the rubber flexibility in versatile weather conditions, which upgrades the year round performing safety.

The tread design increases the hydroplaning resistance. Hydroplaning happens once water and slush trapped on the road surface manage to cut off the tire’s road contact. In such cases, the driver loses control over the vehicle as the tires start to skid, which can easily lead to accidents. The Edge A/S utilized its circumferential and lateral grooves to channel water and slush away from the tire’s surface contact, which further improves the wet and winter traction.

ENHANCED CONTROLLABILITY

Tires create the only link between the road surface and the vehicle, and as a result, the vehicle’s controllability relies on their performing capability. In this manner, tires must provide excellent steering responsiveness and driving stability to ensure the driver’s full control over the vehicle.

The Edge A/S promotes a stabilized footprint which optimizes the surface contact throughout the drive. The better road contact increases the steering responsiveness and the driving stability significantly. In other words, the model becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. This stronger control over the tires enables the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle in all weather.

The tire also boosts the cornering and braking capacity. The shoulder tread block placement enhances the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during the model’s cornering. The better surface grip greatly upgrades the maneuvering power and safety. The tread’s ideal siping detail manages to create friction between the tire and the road surface to shorten the braking distance throughout its performance. The stronger braking power improves the driver’s full control over the vehicle at all times.

HIGH DRIVING COMFORT LEVELS

High driving comfort levels

The driving comfort levels that are felt in the vehicle’s cabin are regulated by the tires. Touring tires are known for their exceptional high comfort levels during their performance as they utilize different manufacturing elements.

The Edge A/S uses its optimal footprint to maintain its constant road surface contact. The close road contact allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion, which minimizes the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. On the other hand, the tread design’s asymmetric pattern creates a variable phase shift which helps lower the road and tread pattern noise heard during the drive. The variable phase shift creates a special sound frequency that cancels out the road and tread pattern noise, before they can reach the passengers in the vehicle’s cabin. As road disturbances are unable to dampen the passenger’s driving enjoyment, the model guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

LONGER LASTING TREAD LIFE

Tires which promote lengthened tread lives are more popular on the tire market. As a result, these tires utilize various tread designs to secure a slower and even wear across the tread area, which increases the usability.

The Edge A/S increases the usability by avoiding premature and uneven wear across the tread area. The tread’s ideal footprint ensures a closer surface contact and secures the tread stability throughout the drive. In this manner, the tire prevents tread flexing which generates unnecessary friction between the tire and the road surface. By avoiding tread flexing, the tire is able to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area, resisting uneven wear formations. This results in the model’s increased usability and tread life.
