Atlander AX-77

OVERVIEW

The Atlander AX-77 is a touring, all season tire created for passenger cars and SUVs. Atlander offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty for this particular model.

This tire ensures consistent traction and performance with its detailed tread design. The continuous center and shoulder ribs are covered with sipes that secure a solid grip with the road surface. With the help of these small details, the tire can establish the same traction in wet and snowy conditions as well. They also paid close attention in making the tire footprint as flat as possible, ensuring consistent traction.

A quiet ride is ensured with the multi-pitch frequency conversion pattern design, which is a technology that helps with sound dispersion. This tire is optimized by computer simulation. It produces the same amount of sound but in a wider frequency range, which basically counts as accelerated energy dispersion. The sounds that are easily perceived by the human ear are minimized, allowing a quiet driving experience.

The 4 wide circumferential grooves work as drainage ditches on wet and slippery roads. This dynamic effectively resists hydroplaning and gives the tire the ability to maintain consistent road contact. The additional transverse sipe pattern on the tread further improves water removal. These design choices allow full road contact even on rainy days.

With the notched center and shoulder ribs, the steering responsiveness and overall handling of the tire is unquestionable. The arrangement and shape of these ribs allow the tire to uniformly maintain its contact area with the ground. This symmetrical, flat footprint is what gives a huge boost to cornering and other control capabilities of the tire.

The tire is made of a wear-resistant compound that helps the tire maintain its shape and structure on the long term. Another benefit of the flat footprint is that it effectively prevents irregular and premature wear. The center and shoulder ribs evenly distribute load pressure and driving pressure between each other, guaranteeing a longer service life for the AX-77.

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.
