Opals FH18 Sapphire
OVERVIEW
The Opals FH18 Sapphire is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.
The ideal tread pattern increases controllability. The tread design's continuous center rib maintains surface contact, upgrading steering responsiveness and driving stability. This guarantees a quick and precise steering response, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The tread design's wider shoulder pattern firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. This significantly upgrades cornering and maneuvering. The special siping details manage to generate friction at the moment of braking, greatly shortening the surface life.
High speed durability is ensured with this tire. The tread design and the strong structure improve the tire's high speed performance. The tread eases the pressure off the tire, reducing pressure build-up while the tires are in motion. At the same time, the structure maintains the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it is able to handle high speed durability. This combination enables the tire to securely perform at its best high speed ability.
The model provides great all season traction. The ideal tread pattern and the all season compound enhance the tire's dry, wet, and winter weather grip. In this manner, the optimized tread design closely follows the road surface at all times, while the all season compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. Circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint in order to resist hydroplaning.
The Opals FH18 Sapphire guarantees a quiet drive. This tread design and its constant contact with the driving surface reduce road and tread noise heard in the vehicle's cabin. The footprint channels airwaves throughout the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements. This enables the passengers to enjoy a quiet performance by resisting sound wave formations.
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.
