Dcenti DC33. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Dcenti DC33 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Dcenti offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The tire improves the year round traction. The all season compound and the symmetric tread design upgrade the dry, wet, and winter weather surface grip. This combination ensures the tire's secure performance in versatile weather conditions. The detailed tread elements enhance the grip on the road surface with extra biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexibility in summer and winter weather situations. The four circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, resulting in a safer wet weather performance.The close and consistent road contact allows the tire to increase its controllability. The better surface contact of the tread's center ribs improves the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the tire is quick and precise in its response to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure affecting the tire. The shoulder block pattern firmly grips the road, in order to upgrade the cornering and maneuvering ability and power. The notch and siping placement increases the braking power by generating friction at the moment of braking. This results in the tire's shortened braking distance.The DC33 boosts the overall comfort levels as well. The tread's close road contact and the variable pitch pattern of the footprint reduce the road vibration and noise levels. The ribbed center tread area enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving, minimizing the road vibrations felt by the passengers. The variable pitch placement negates the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. It creates a sound frequency that cancels the road noise, before it can reach the vehicle's cabin. This combination significantly enhances the passengers' overall driving enjoyment. 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.
