Forceum ATZ
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All weather traction
- All terrain traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
OVERVIEW
The Forceum ATZ is an all terrain, all season tire with slight off-road capability manufactured for sport utility and light truck vehicles, depending on the model's size and load index.
The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The tire's tread pattern ensures a safer dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability by maintaining constant road contact. The enhanced road contact is further improved as the tread grooves prevent the tire's footprint from being blocked by snow or mud. They clean out mud and snow stuck between the tread elements. In this manner, the tread grooves also resist hydroplaning as they disperse water and slush from beneath the tire footprint.
The model is capable of performing well in both on and slightly off-road situations. The flat tire footprint maintains its optimized road contact and provides a safer drive. As a result, the tire is capable of handling light off-road driving, such as dirt or gravel roads. They find good road grip in such situations and do not lose their performing capability. The self-cleaning nature of the tread design keeps the footprint clean of mud and it ejects rocks to prevent stone retention. The safer off-road drive guarantees versatile use for this model.
The tire is easily controlled in all weather. The tread design's center block sequence improves the steering responsiveness, driving stability and the tire's overall controllability. The tire is stabilized against the driving pressure, while the steering becomes quick and precise to the driver's instructions. The tread's shoulder blocks improve the cornering and maneuvering ability greatly. They increase the number of biting edges during cornering situations and ensure a safer maneuvering in all weather.
The ATZ's flat footprint also lengthens the tire's usability and tread length. It manages to evenly distribute the driving pressure along the tread area to avoid irregular tread wear formations along the tire's surface. The equal spreading out of the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering promotes an extended tread life, making the tire more cost efficient.
Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
