National Commando HTS 2
OVERVIEW
The National Commando HTS 2 is a highway terrain, all season tire made for light trucks and SUVs. This model has some passenger touring and high performance SUV sizes available. National offers a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.
Better handling and maneuvering are guaranteed with this model. The tire helps to enhance its steering responsiveness, driving stability, and maneuvering. This is achieved with the symmetric tread’s road contact. In this manner, the model boosts steering responses and accuracy to the driver’s commands. It also secures the stability throughout the performance. The sipe and groove pattern generate friction, significantly shortening the braking distance. Cornering is enhanced as well, thanks to the optimal shoulder block pattern.
The model provides great all season traction. The tire’s optimal groove placement channels water and slush away from the footprint. As a result, they effectively resist hydroplaning in wet conditions. Its compound blend and the ideal tread design increase the tire’s surface grip. Sipes create biting edges, which firmly grip the road surface at all times. Additionally, the compound keeps the tire pliable in versatile temperatures, enabling its summer and winter weather applications.
Great load and driving durability are ensured with the tire’s reinforced internal structure. The strong compound and the reinforced internal structure work together to increase the heavy-duty handling. These elements maintain the ideal tire shape under load and driving pressure. As the tire does not deform, it can easily carry and withstand heavy loads. This load-carrying capacity makes the model perfectly safe, even under heavy loads.
The National Commando HTS 2 offers a longer-lasting tread life. The ideal tread pattern and the rubber compound resist irregular and premature wear formations along the tread area. This tread ensures even pressure circulation, in order to prevent irregular wear formations, while the rubber compound slows the treadwear rate down. The decreased and even wear leads to the tire’s longer-lasting tread life.
Not all tire sizes are suitable for all vehicle types. Please refer to the item specifications for accurate information about vehicle type fitment for this particular size.
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.
