- Longer lasting tread life
- Fuel efficient performance
OVERVIEW
The Armstrong Blu-Trac PC Flex is a performance, all weather tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Armstrong offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The model promotes excellent all weather traction. The all weather compound and the detailed directional tread design work together to increase the dry, wet, and winter surface grip. The detailed tread design firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges, which are generated by the sipe and notch pattern. The stronger compound elements allow the tire to increase the rubber flexibility in versatile weather conditions, enhancing the summer and winter weather performance. The unique V-shaped groove placement allows the tire to prevent hydroplaning, dispersing water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions. The tread design effectively boosts the wet weather driving safety levels.
The wider footprint enables the tire to increase the usability. The stabilized tread elements of the directional footprint allow the tire to evenly circulate the driving pressure across the tread area, which effectively avoids irregular wear. The special compound blend avoids premature wear formations. The decreased and even wear boosts the model's overall service and tread life.
Better controllability is ensured with the tread design. The directional pattern with the solid center rib upgrades the surface contact at all times, enhancing the steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire guarantees excellent steering response and precision to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The versatile siping placement and the compound allows the tire to generate friction at the moment of braking, greatly shortening the braking distance. They significantly reduce the braking distance and promote a safer braking power.
The Blu-Trac PC Flex promotes a fuel efficient performance. The stronger all weather traction and the special compound mix reduce the rolling resistance by easing the pressure off the tire. Lowering the rolling resistance decreases the vehicle's fuel intake necessary in order to keep the tires in motion. Decreasing the rolling resistance, the tire is able to lessen the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. This results in a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.
All weather tires receive the three mountain peak and snowflake (3PMS) symbol for their exceptional winter weather performance. They are all season tires with extra winter weather grip, in order to guarantee safer year-round durability. This ensures their true and secure driving ability throughout the year.
