Travelstar UN-AT701

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All terrain traction
• Increased durability
• Longer lasting tread life
• Better controllability

OVERVIEW

The Travelstar UN-AT701 is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks.

The tire provides great all weather traction. The wide footprint keeps the tire's road contact at all times, while the tread elements increase their grip on dry, wet and winter weather road surfaces. The individual tread elements firmly grip the road surface all year to ensure a secure driving experience. The wide grooves and the open shoulder design avoid hydroplaning effectively by dispersing water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The staggered tread blocks also maintain a clean footprint in all weather by eliminating snow stuck in the grooves. The combination of the better traction and constant road contact improves the tire's overall performance.

The special all terrain traction boosts the tire's versatility. The staggered tread blocks, the open shoulder pattern and the upper sidewall pattern design increase the soft, loose and uneven terrain performance. These tread elements manage to find firm grip on all terrain conditions. The tire also keeps a clean footprint by dispersing mud and ejecting rocks stuck between the tread elements. The clean footprint maintains the tire's traction at all times, while it also prevents stone retention, which can cause harm to the tire's casing. This ensures the tire's versatile usage and offers a safer all terrain driving experience.

The maintained road contact, on all terrain conditions, increases the tire's handling and braking capability. The flat tire footprint keeps the tire's road contact at all times, which improves its steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The model also ensures a shorter braking distance. The tread elements are stabilized during the drive and create friction at the moment of braking, which increases the braking power and shortens the braking distance.

The stabilized tread elements also manage to prevent irregular tread wear formations. The flat footprint's stabilized tread blocks prevent tread flexing while the tires are in motion. This manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tire's footprint. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking lengthen the tread life by avoiding uneven tread wear. The longer lasting even tread life ensures the tire's usability for a lengthened period of time.

The UN-AT701 features a jointless nylon band construction that prevents the deformation of the tire's structure. The jointless nylon band maintains the optimal shape under the driving pressure affecting the tire, enhancing its durability and uniformity. The maintained optimal shape keeps the tire's close road and terrain contact and it enables the model to perform to its highest capability both on and off-road.
