BFGoodrich Elite-Force T/A. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: Summer weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Longer-lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The BFGoodrich Elite-Force T/A is a performance and high performance, summer tire made for SUVs. This model has some touring sizes available as well.Excellent summer traction is promoted with this tire. The optimized tread elements and the summer compound enhance the tires performance in dry and wet weather. In this manner, the ideal tread pattern closely follows the road surface at all times, while the summer compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area in warmer temperatures. At the same time, the optimized grooves effectively resist hydroplaning, by dispersing water from the footprint in wet conditions.The model upgrades its controllability. The asymmetric tread design and the special silica compound maintain road contact at all times. It improves the tires steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tires steering response time is faster and more precise to the drivers commands, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. Cornering and maneuvering are upgraded as well. As a result, the driver has full control over the vehicle and guarantees a safe driving experience.The BFGoodrich Elite-Force T/A offers a longer-lasting tread life. The ideal tread design manages to evenly distribute driving pressure along the tread area. On the other hand, the special silica compound slows the treadwear rate down. These elements work together to prevent irregular and premature wear formations, which ensures the tires longer service life and usability. 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.
