Starfire SF 340
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
- Reduced road noise levels
OVERVIEW
The Starfire SF 340 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The tire promotes great all weather traction. The model's symmetric tread design and special all season tire compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound manages to maintain the tire's flexibility at all times, while the tread elements, with the detailed siping design, firmly grip the road surface throughout the year. The tread's wide circumferential and smaller lateral grooves channel water and slush from below the tire's footprint and effectively prevent hydroplaning when driving through standing water. The increased all weather traction and hydroplaning resistance ensure a safer driving experience.
The model's tread design enhances its all weather controllability. The tread's solid continuous center rib boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The better road contact improves the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions and it stabilizes the tire during the drive. The shoulder tread blocks feature an optimized siping design that increases the number of biting edges gripping the road surface. In this manner, the tire boosts its cornering and maneuvering capability and power greatly and guarantees a secure performance.
The tire offers a lengthened usability. The tread design's deep, lateral shoulder slots enable the tire to closely follow the road surface and ensure its maintained road contact. As a result, the tire is capable of equally spreading out the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking across the tread area. The even pressure distribution prevents irregular tread wear formations along the tire's surface which upgrades the tread life and the tire's usability.
The SF 340 guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The computer optimized tread design features a variable pitch sequence that lowers the road noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. It creates a sound frequency that negates the road and tread pattern noise generated while the tires are in motion. In this manner, the road noise does not reach the vehicle's cabin while the tires are in motion, promoting a quiet drive.
