OVERVIEW
The Goodyear Fortera HL Edition is a touring, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and passenger vehicles.
The tread pattern and the tire compound work together to provide excellent all weather traction. The tread design's detail grips the road well in dry, wet and winter weather, while the circumferential grooves avoid dangerous hydroplaning situations by eliminating water from below the tire footprint. The better water dispersing ability and superb year round traction increase the model's safety levels in all conditions.
The tire offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread pattern's computer optimized variable pitch sequence lowers the road and pattern noise generated while the tires are in motion by creating a sound frequency that cancels the sound waves as they are generated. The model's reinforced twin steel belt internal structure lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. This is due to the fact that the tire prevents deformation under the driving pressure and, as it maintains its optimal shape, it is capable of closely following the road surface. The result is an enjoyable drive.
The model's optimized footprint improves its handling and load carrying capability. It enhances the tire's road contact which, along with the maintained ideal shape, upgrades the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The better stability and responsiveness allow the tire to quickly and precisely respond to the driver's instructions, which makes the tire easier to control in all weather. The optimized footprint also provides additional strength and load carrying ability, as it distributes the load pressure across the tire evenly. This not only prevents premature wear, but it takes the pressure off of the tire and allows for a longer usability.
Besides the long usability provided by the load pressure distribution of the Fortera HL Edition, its long lasting tire compound and buttressed tread elements also extend its life. The tire compound is wear resistant and it takes it longer to wear out. The tread elements are placed in a way that they prevent irregular wear across the tread area by evenly spreading out the driving forces affecting it. The constant, even wear and the longer lasting tread extend the tire's tread life.
