Starfire RS-C 2.0

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• All weather traction
• Enhanced controllability
• Comfortable driving experience
• Longer lasting tread life

OVERVIEW

The Starfire RS-C 2.0 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles.

The tire promotes exceptional all weather traction. The compound and the symmetric tread design increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability. The compound keeps its flexibility in winter weather, while the tread elements firmly grip the road surface. The four wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The safer all weather traction and excellent hydroplaning resistance ensure a secure year round driving experience.

The model offers a comfortable driving experience. The tread design's maintained road contact and the special vibration-absorbent center rib manage to reduce the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin during the drive. The tire also provides a quiet drive. The tread pattern's closed shoulder design lowers the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. It channels the airwaves through the tire's footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements. This decreases the road noise created, which is heard in the vehicle's cabin. The result is a quiet and comfortable drive.

The tread design's solid center rib upgrades the model's controllability. The center rib keeps the tire close to the road surface, which boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In this manner, the tire's structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it and its steering becomes quick and precise in response to the driver's commands. The enhanced control over the tire and the vehicle allows the driver to confidently control the vehicle in all conditions.

The RS-C 2.0 guarantees a longer lasting tread life. The tire compound and the symmetric tread pattern work together to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area. This equal distribution of the forces of accelerations, cornering and braking provides a slower tread wear rate and it prevents irregular tread wear formations on the tire's surface. This extends the tread life and usability significantly, making the model cost efficient.

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.
