Road Hugger GTP A/S

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Road Hugger GTP A/S is a performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Road Hugger offers a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The tire promotes a safer year round performance. The optimal all weather compound and the ideal tread design work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in various temperatures, while the siping and notch placement of the tread increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year. The tread design's wide circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water and slush from below the footprint. This enables the tire to enhance the wet and winter grip on the road surface.

The ideal tread pattern boosts the controllability. The optimal ribbed tread design enhances the surface contact throughout the drive, which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering 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. The shoulder block placement and the siping placement increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface, which enhances the cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The notch placement along the tread area creates friction between the tire and the road surface, which upgrades the braking power. In this manner, the tire actively reduces the braking distance.

The Road Hugger GTP A/S increases the tread life. The durable compound and the ideal tread design enhance the tire's controllability. The stronger compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the drive, while the tread pattern enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations across the tread area. This combination enhances the model's usability and service life.
