Travelstar UN66 225/70R16 103H Performance a/s All Season Tire

Travelstar UN66

OVERVIEW

The Travelstar UN66 is a performance all season tire manufactured for SUVs and light trucks. Travelstar offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.

The model offers an excellent all weather performance. The tire was manufactured with a silica-infused tire compound, which maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures. The asymmetric tread design, on the other hand, firmly grips the road surface throughout the year. In this manner, the tire guarantees first-rate performance and road grip in dry, wet and winter weather. The tread's wide circumferential and angled lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning. They disperse water and slush from the footprint and, as a result, upgrade the wet weather traction and driving safety.

The tire promotes great high speed controllability. The tread's ribbed pattern closely follows the road surface all year round. The constant road contact enhances the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise, while the structure is stabilized, to ensure the tire's safer high speed control and maneuvering. The asymmetric pattern and the silica-based tire compound prevent heat build-up during the drive. The high speed driving pressure is eased off the tire, which enables it to perform to its greatest high speed capability.

The silica-based tire compound lowers the tire's overall weight, without sacrificing its year round traction. The enhanced all weather traction lowers the driving pressure affecting the tire during its performance, which in turn reduces the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the external driving pressure that determines the amount of energy the vehicle needs to keep the tires in motion. The lowered rolling resistance decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, ensuring a fuel efficient and environmentally friendly model.

The UN66 guarantees a quiet performance. The tread pattern features a variable pitch sequence that negates the road noise levels generated during the drive. The pitch sequence creates a sound frequency that cancels out the road and tread pattern noise before they can reach the vehicle's cabin. This results in a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience.

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.
