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.

Maxxis offers a 50-70,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The Maxxis Bravo HP-M3 ensures a secure high speed performance in all weather, which makes it one of our best-selling models here at Priority Tire. The model combines all season traction with excellent controllability, a quiet performance and an elongated usability.

All Season Performance

All season tires ensure a secure performing capability in various temperatures. The tread design and the all season tire compound ensure a safer year round performing capability, which upgrades the model’s year round driving safety.

The Bravo HP-M3 was designed with a symmetric ribbed tread pattern and molded from a durable all season compound, which work together to improve its dry, wet and winter weather performance. The tread pattern’s siping detail firmly grips the road surface during the tire’s performance, while the compound manages to maintain the tire’s flexibility throughout the year. This combination guarantees the tire’s exceptional all weather performance as it keeps the traction and road grip all year.

Hydroplaning is a dangerous road hazard which can occur in wet and winter weather. It happens when water or slush accumulates on the road surface and cuts off the tire’s contact with the road. This causes the vehicle to skid and the driver to lose control over the vehicle during the drive. The Bravo HP-M3’s tread design features wide circumferential grooves that channel water and slush away from the tire’s footprint. This allows the tire to maintain its grip on the road surface and improve wet and winter weather performance.

High Driving Comfort Levels

While performance and high performance tires usually do not offer high driving comfort levels, some models have succeeded in lowering the road noise levels heard during their performance.

The Bravo HP-M3 is one such tire. The tread design features a special variable pitch sequence that lowers the road and tread pattern noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. The variable pitch sequence creates a special sound frequency while the tires are in motion, which significantly lowers the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle’s cabin. This is achieved as the tread pattern negates the road noise generated during the drive with the sound-cancelling frequency. This guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

Handling and Controllability

A tire’s controllability depends on its road contact and internal structure as they boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This combination enables the tire to securely perform in various conditions.

The Bravo HP-M3 features a ribbed tread design with a stronger internal structure that boosts the model’s performing capability and maneuvering. The tread pattern keeps the tire’s contact with the road surface throughout its performance, while the construction maintains the ideal tire shape during the tire’s performance. This allows the tire to upgrade the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver’s commands, while it stabilizes the structure against the high speed driving pressure affecting the model. This not only upgrades the model’s controllability, but it also secures its high speed performing capability.

The model’s optimal shoulder tread block placement helps increase the cornering and maneuvering capability and power. They upgrade the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which significantly boosts the cornering capability. The better grip on the road surface allows the tire’s full speed performance, while it guarantees a secure driving experience.

Longer-Lasting Tread Life

While performance and high performance tires tend to have shorter lifespans, some manufacturers managed to make them resistant to accelerated tread wear.

The Bravo HP-M3 was designed with a symmetric tread pattern, molded from a durable all season tire compound. This combination enables the tire to maintain its traction and road contact at all times. The better road contact manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally circulated forces of driving actively avoids irregular tread wear formations. The special all season summer compound slows the tread wear rate down, as it lowers the heat build-up affecting the tires. In this manner, the model guarantees a lengthened tread life and usability.

Maxxis offer a 50-70,000 mile treadwear warranty with the Bravo HP-M3 tire model. The W speed rated sizes receive a 50,000 mile warranty, a 60,000 mile warranty comes with the V speed rated sizes, while the H speed rated sizes get a 70,000 mile treadwear warranty.
