Aplus A868

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• High driving comfort levels

OVERVIEW

The Aplus A868 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and passenger vehicles.

The model improves the year round performance. The asymmetric tread design and the stronger all weather compound improves the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The compound keeps the rubber flexibility in different temperatures, from the heat of summer to colder winter weather conditions. The detailed tread design, with the optimal groove placement increases the grip on the road surface throughout its performance with the extra biting edges. The tread design's lateral and circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the footprint, further improving the wet weather road gripping ability.

The tire's tread design helps enhance the controllability. The tread design's continuous center rib maintains the surface contact at all times. In this manner, the tire greatly upgrades 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 stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The tread design's shoulder block placement enhances the cornering ability. The tread blocks create additional biting edges, which help grip the road surface during maneuvering. This combination ensures the driver's full control over the vehicle throughout its performance.

The tread design enhances the tire's driving comfort levels. The tread design's variable pitch sequence lowers the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The pitch design of the tread generates a special sound frequency that cancels the sound waves created while the tires are in motion. This prevents road and tread pattern noise from reaching the vehicle's cabin. On the other hand, the tread design's constant close road contact reduces the road vibrations. The tread allows the tire to absorb the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers during the drive. As road disturbances cannot ruin the passenger's driving enjoyment, the tire promotes a comfortable and quiet driving experience.

The A868 features a white sidewall. This tire model was designed with a white sidewall rib to enhance its aesthetics.
