Firestone F-700
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All Season Traction
- Improved Controllability
- Enhanced Driving Comfort
- Eco Friendly Performance
OVERVIEW
The Firestone F-700 is a touring, all season tire created for passenger cars.
This model comes with a tread pattern that is specially designed to improve all season traction. It also comes with a rubber blend that maintains its flexibility despite the changing weather conditions. This allows the tire to perform at its best in wet, dry, and snowy weather conditions as well. Each one of the four ribs are densely populated with biting edges for a better grip with the road surface. The tire boasts wide circumferential grooves that deal with hydroplaning by channeling water, slush, and snow away from the footprint.
The tread is designed to keep close contact with the road surface. This enhances the tire's driving stability and improves its controllability as well. The driver can rely on fast steering and great precision when commanding the vehicle. The tire's structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting it, which allows for better maneuverability. The shoulder blocks are rather wide and also essential for the tire's cornering ability. They provide additional biting edges to grip the road with during both sensitive and sharp steering.
The tire is designed with driving comfort in mind. This is another benefit of the close surface contact, as the tire utilizes it to absorb the shock of driving. As a result, it significantly lowers the road vibrations while the tire is in motion. The vibrations are so weak at the end that they barely reach the vehicle's cabin. This enables the driver to enjoy a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The whole tread is designed to not let airwaves come into contact with the tread elements. This way, road and tread pattern noise can't form.
The tread footprint is fully optimized for all weather traction. With better traction, the tire's rolling resistance simply goes down, as it eases pressure off the tread footprint. It requires less towing power to reach the same speed throughout the performance. This causes the vehicle's fuel usage to go down, resulting in less CO2 emissions. The F-700 boasts an environmentally friendly performance due to its fuel efficiency.
