3 key features & what they mean

• Summer-focused rubber compound better grip and braking in warm weather, but its not made for freezing temperatures
• Touring-oriented tread design smoother, more predictable feel for everyday city and highway driving
• Water-channeling tread layout helps move water away to reduce hydroplaning risk in rain
• XL (Extra Load) rating supports higher load capacity than standard tires in the same size, which can feel a bit more stable when the car is loaded
• Even-wear focused pattern helps the tire wear more consistently when rotations and alignment are kept up

5 recommended vehicles & recommended use cases for this tire

6 installation & ownership notes

• Works with standard OEM wheels as long as your vehicle calls for this tire size and load/speed rating.
• No special modifications requiredit installs like a normal replacement tire.
• TPMS transfer may be requiredmost installs reuse your existing sensors; your installer can confirm.
• XL (Extra Load) tire: make sure your installer sets inflation to the vehicle door-jamb placard and confirms the XL load rating meets your vehicle requirement.
• Expected tread life range: often around 25,00045,000 miles for summer touring tires, depending on alignment, rotations, driving style, and road temperatures.
• Recommended rotation interval: every 5,0007,500 miles (or at each oil change) to help keep wear even.
• Directional mounting: check the sidewall at installif theres a rotation arrow, they must be mounted accordingly.
• Not severe-winter rated (no 3PMSF): plan on a dedicated winter tire if you see regular snow/ice or near-freezing temps.
