The BFGoodrich Traction t/a summer tire is a modern solution that successfully combines time-tested classic and cutting-edge engineering developments. The universal directional tread pattern makes this model an ideal choice for the vast majority of modern passenger cars. Drivers can expect predictable and precise handling, maximum protection against the hazardous phenomenon of aquaplaning, and exceptional durability, allowing them to forget about premature tire replacement.
The secret to the model's outstanding characteristics lies in the carefully thought-out structure of its tread, where each zone performs a strictly assigned role. At the very heart of the contact patch are two thin segmented ribs. They act as the main steering "nerve" of the tire, providing an instantaneous response to the slightest steering movements, making maneuvering - whether it's changing lanes in dense traffic or slaloming on a winding road — fast, sensitive, and accurate.
Two intermediate ribs, made in the form of separate blocks, form the basis for safe driving. They multiply the contact area with the road surface, which is critical for a short braking distance and confident acceleration on wet asphalt.
The wide and developed shoulder areas are responsible for the car's unwavering stability in turns. Their rigid design resists deformations under the action of lateral forces, allowing the car to maintain its intended trajectory. The numerous channels in this area, having an "open" architecture, perform the role of a highly efficient drainage system. They actively absorb and expel water from under the contact patch, preventing the formation of a water wedge.
Key features of BFGoodrich Traction t/a:
- designed for long-term summer operation on vehicles of various classes;
- thanks to a rigid carcass and unique tread pattern, provides "sharp" and informative feedback with the road at any speed;
- a powerful drainage system with deep main channels and a network of transverse lamellas is capable of draining significant amounts of water and dirt in a fraction of a second.
