- Enhanced controllability
OVERVIEW
The Leao Lion Sport GP is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles. Leao offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
The tire provides excellent all weather traction. The all season tread pattern features a detailed siping pattern and wide tread grooves that increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The tread design's wide circumferential grooves actively avoid dangerous hydroplaning situations by eliminating water and slush from beneath the tire footprint. The better dispersing ability and the all weather traction ensure a safer year round driving experience.
The tire promotes a quiet and comfortable drive, as the road noise and vibrations are decreased during the drive. The decoupling tread groove of the shoulder tread blocks creates a variable pitch sequence that negates the tread noise generated while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that cancels the road noise heard in the vehicle's cabin out. The tread design's maintained constant contact lowers the road vibrations. The tire is able to closely follow the road surface, which reduces the road vibrations felt by the passengers.
The symmetric tread pattern guarantees a longer lasting tread life. It manages to evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area. This equal distribution of the forces of acceleration, braking and cornering prevents irregular tread wear from forming along the tire's surface. The lengthened tread life ensures an extended tire usability thanks to the tread design's constant road contact.
The Lion Sport GP's tread design also improves its controllability. The solid center rib is in contact with the road surface at all times, which increases the steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, the steering is quicker and more precise in its responsiveness and the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The better controllability ensures a more secure drive in all conditions.
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.
