The Starfire Solarus AS is a touring all season tire designed for passenger vehicles and SUVs. It comes with a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty. The tire offers excellent traction and gripping abilities in various weather conditions. Its special all season compound and symmetrical mirrored tread design work together to enhance grip on dry, wet, and winter roads. The compound maintains flexibility even in winter weather, while the tread design ensures a firm grip on the road. The tire's wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush beneath the tire's footprint. This, along with its exceptional all weather traction, enhances safety throughout the year. In addition to its performance, the Starfire Solarus AS provides a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The tread pattern features a closed shoulder design that reduces road noise while the tires are in motion. The closed shoulders prevent airwaves from entering the tire's footprint and making contact with the tread elements. As a result, road and tread pattern noise are minimized and unable to reach the vehicle's cabin. The tire's flat footprint also allows it to closely adhere to the road surface, effectively absorbing shocks while driving. This reduces road vibrations, enhancing the overall comfort of the ride. Furthermore, the Starfire Solarus AS ensures a longer-lasting tread life. The tire's flat footprint ensures even distribution of driving pressure along its surface. This evenly spread out force from acceleration, cornering, and braking prevents irregular tread wear and extends the tire's lifespan. The tire's tread wear remains consistent across the entire tread area, resulting in a prolonged usability. Lastly, the Solarus AS offers excellent control to the driver. Its tread design ensures constant road contact, improving steering responsiveness and driving stability. This means that the tire maintains a strong connection with the road, allowing for precise steering and quick response times to the driver's commands. It also stabilizes the tire against external driving pressures. As a result, drivers can confidently control their vehicles in all weather conditions.
