Atlas Tire Force UHP

OVERVIEW

The Atlas Tire Force UHP is a performance and high performance, depending on the speed rating of the specific tire size, all season tire constructed for passenger and crossover vehicles and SUVs. Atlas Tires offers a 50,000 miles treadwear warranty with this model.

This tire model has excellent all weather traction, and will perform well in winter weather. The asymmetric tread design helps grip the road surface firmly during on-road driving, which enhances the driving safety. The wide grooves in the tread pattern evacuate water and mud from under the tread and effectively prevent hydroplaning. The intricate siping design enhances its grip in light snow, and improves the cornering and braking ability.

Even at high speed, this model does not lose its directional stability. It maintains its shape at any speed and does not deform under pressure. The asymmetric siping design of this performance model gives additional road grip and traction for maneuvering at high speeds. The center rib in the tread design offers good contact between the tire and the road increasing the steering precision, making it easier to handle.

The Force UHP’s maximized road contact patch helps reduce the road noise heard in the cabin of the vehicle, enabling a comfortable driving experience. This also makes the tire resistant to irregular wear by equally distributing the driving force along the tread. This allows a slower wear ratio, which lengthens the tire’s tread life.

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.
