OVERVIEW

The Tornel A/T-09 is an all terrain, all season tire manufactured for light trucks.

The tire improves the all weather traction. The all season compound and the detailed tread block pattern of the aggressive footprint work together to enhance the year round surface grip. In other words, the stronger compound optimizes the rubber flexibility in various weather situations, boosting the summer and winter weather performing ability. The tread's siping pattern provides additional biting edges in order to grip the road surface with extra biting edges. This combination boosts the dry, wet and winter weather traction. The circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning during the on-road performance, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint, resulting in a safer drive.

The maintained surface contact of the aggressive tread design helps to increase the controllability. The versatile terrain grip greatly improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability throughout the drive. In this manner, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. This combination guarantees the driver's better control over the vehicle.

The aggressive tread design utilizes the staggered tread blocks and the high void ratio improves the versatile terrain traction. These tread elements allow the tire to increase the soft, loose and uneven terrain grip, optimizing the forward motion throughout the performance. In this manner, the tire can easily conquer versatile terrain traction, increasing the deep mud and loose terrain traction. The tread design also keeps the footprint clean at all times. The staggered elements and the high void ratio eliminate mud, snow and rocks stuck between the tread elements. As a result, mud and snow cannot block the surface contact, while stone retention is effectively avoided, promoting a secure off-road traction.

The better traction on versatile terrain surface conditions, minimizes the pressure affecting the tire during its performance. This enables the tire to lower the overall rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire, which determines the vehicle's necessary fuel usage in order to keep the tires in motion on different terrain surface conditions. As a result, the reduced rolling resistance lessens the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels, promoting a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly performance.

The A/T-09 also features a variable pitch pattern along the tread area. During the tire's on-road performance, the tread design's optimized pitch sequence allows the tire to generate a sound-cancelling frequency while the tires are in motion. This sound frequency negates the sound waves created during the drive, preventing them from reaching the vehicle's cabin. As road disturbances do not ruin the passengers' driving enjoyment, guaranteeing a quiet driving experience.

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.
