Westlake SU318 H/T 245/70R17 110T a/s All Season Tire

Westlake SU318 H/T

OVERVIEW

The Westlake SU318 H/T is an all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The passenger sizes are touring models, while the SUV ones are highway terrain models. Westlake offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this tire model.

The tread design and the tire compound work together to ensure excellent all weather traction. The silica-enhanced compound and the detailed tread pattern increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps its flexibility in colder temperatures as well, while the siping detail promotes biting edges that grip the road surface in all weather. The tread design’s circumferential grooves effectively disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint and prevent hydroplaning. This promotes a safer year round performance and driving experience.

The tread pattern and the internal structure increase the model’s controllability. The steel bead wire prevents deformation under the driving pressure, while the tread design’s longitudinal design maintains constant contact with the road surface. The optimized tire shape and the enhanced road contact upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes quick and precise in its responsiveness to the driver’s commands, while the tire’s structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it during the drive. The better control over the model ensures a secure drive.

The SU318 H/T promotes a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread design is computer optimized, which manages to decrease the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. The road and tread noise are not heard in the vehicle’s cabin, as the tread design channels the airwaves through the tire’s footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements, offering quiet and enjoyable drive.

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.
