Firestone FR380
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- Enhanced controllability
- High driving comfort levels
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Firestone FR380 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Firestone offers a 55,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The tire guarantees a lengthened usability. The symmetric tread design and the optimal tire shape improve the length of the tread life significantly. The symmetric pattern maintains the road surface and evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking across the tire's surface, successfully preventing irregular tread wear formations across the tread area. The tire's optimal shape does not deform under the driving pressure, which further ensures even tread wear and an extended usability.
The tread design upgrades the model's controllability. The symmetric pattern's continuous notched center rib keeps the tire's road contact at all times, which boosts the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. This allows the tire to upgrade the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's command, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the model. As a result, the driver can confidently maneuver the vehicle in all conditions, ensuring a safer performance.
The tread design and all season tire compound work together to upgrade the all weather traction. This enables the tire's secure performance in dry, wet and winter weather. The symmetric tread design's individual elements boost the year round grip on the road surface, while the compound keeps the model's flexibility throughout the year. The tread features circumferential grooves that prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from below the tire's footprint and increase the wet and winter weather driving security.
The FR380 ensures a comfortable drive. The variable pitch sequence decreases the road noise levels heard while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that negates the road and tread pattern noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The tire's reinforced polyester cord body enhances the driving comfort. It allows the tire to closely follow the road surface, absorbing the shock of driving. As a result, the road vibrations are not felt by the passengers, which promotes a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.
