All-season passenger tire GT Radial GR XP2000 is designed for compact crossovers and SUVs. The key feature of this model is the ability to operate on the most diverse types of surfaces, both in summer and in winter.
Excellent directional stability
North American tire makers have equipped this model with a tread featuring an original pattern. It consists of numerous individual blocks grouped into 6 longitudinal ribs, including shoulder areas. Meanwhile, in the central part, there are four ribs. They consist of blocks of a quadrangular shape, arranged parallel to the direction of movement. This arrangement provides them with excellent resistance to the impact of multidirectional acceleration forces, ensuring the tire has excellent directional stability.
Excellent traction properties on slippery roads
As mentioned earlier, the tread pattern contains a huge number of individual blocks. Their numerous edges form an countless number of traction edges. Due to their multidirectional arrangement, the GT Radial GR XP2000 tire demonstrates excellent traction characteristics, especially on wet and snowy roads.
Reinforced shoulder areas
Unlike the central part, the tread blocks located in the shoulder areas are distinguished by massive sizes. This was done to give the tire increased stability when making sharp maneuvers. In addition, the reinforced design of the shoulder areas ensures a more even distribution of external pressure across the contact patch, which itself has acquired a practically rectangular shape. As a result, the tire not only has high resistance to uneven wear but also reliable and predictable handling.
