OVERVIEW
The Firestone Wilderness H/T is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs. This model also has touring, passenger vehicle sizes available as well.
All season traction is promoted with the tread design and the all season compound. The ribbed tread design with the sipe and notch placement increases the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. This optimizes the traction in dry, wet, and winter conditions. Durable compound elements enhance the rubber flexibility throughout the year. Circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint, effectively resisting hydroplaning in wet conditions.
The stabilized footprint and the stronger steel belt structure ensure the tire's consistent surface contact. As a result, the tire manages to boost the steering responsiveness and driving stability. This promotes a quick and precise steering response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder blocks upgrade the cornering ability, by using additional biting edges.
The stable tread elements and the durable compound enhance the tread life. The maintained surface contact allows the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area. As a result, the tire effectively combats irregular wear. The stronger compound also decreases the treadwear rate, by utilizing wear-resistant rubber materials. The slow and even wear significantly boosts the tire's overall service life and usability.
The Wilderness H/T ensures a quiet and comfortable performance. The polyester body cord maintains the ideal tire shape, guaranteeing the tire's consistent surface contact. In this manner, the tire absorbs the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. The tread design also helps to decrease the road noise levels, by utilizing the WhisperTech noise treatment pattern. This prevents soundwave formations, guaranteeing the passengers' driving enjoyment.
