Mastercraft Stratus AP
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
- All season traction
- Enhanced controllability
- Longer lasting tread life
- High driving comfort levels
OVERVIEW
The Mastercraft Stratus AP is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Mastercraft offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with new tires.
All weather traction is guaranteed with the tread design. The all season compound and the ideal tread design improve the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. The stronger compound elements maintain the rubber flexibility in summer and winter conditions. The tread design enhances the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges. The groove pattern with the circumferential and lateral grooves prevents hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint in wet conditions.
The stabilized surface elements improve the surface contact, which improves the controllability. The tread design ensures the surface contact at all times, boosting the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the tire guarantees a faster and more precise steering response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The shoulder block pattern enhances the cornering power, with the use of extra biting edges. The siping and groove pattern generate friction at the moment of braking, significantly shortening the braking distance. The tread elements increase the handling and the maneuvering ability.
A longer lasting usability is also guaranteed. The stabilized tread elements enable the tire to increase the pressure circulation across the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering, and braking prevent irregular wear formations. The durable compound reduces the treadwear rate with the wear-resistant compound elements. The slow and even wear significantly improves the service and tread life.
The Stratus AP boosts the comfort levels as well. The zigzag tread elements allow the tire to effectively channel airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, sound waves are not generated, preventing them from ruining the passengers’ driving enjoyment. This results in a quiet and enjoyable driving experience.
