Achilles Winter 101 X 225/45R18 95H XL Winter Tire

Achilles Winter 101 X

OVERVIEW

The Achilles Winter 101 X is a touring, winter tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs.

Excellent winter-weather traction is promoted with this tread pattern and winter compound. They work together to boost the tire's performance on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. In this manner, the symmetric tread pattern maintains surface contact in harsh winter conditions, while the special silica compound keeps the rubber flexible in freezing temperatures. At the same time, circumferential grooves effectively eliminate water and slush from the footprint in wet situations. These grooves avoid hydroplaning and guarantee a safe driving experience.

The model enhances its controllability. The symmetric tread pattern manages to maintain close contact with driving surfaces. It improves steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, they boost the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Wide shoulder blocks help the tire have better cornering and maneuvering, while the special silica compound shortens the braking distance by creating friction. These elements guarantee a safe driving experience.

The Achilles Winter 101 X offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The symmetric tread design and its constant contact with the driving surface reduce the road and tread noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. The footprint channels airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from coming into contact with tread elements. This tread 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.
