Fullrun PC388. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All season traction; Enhanced controllability; Fuel efficient performance; High driving comfort levels; . OVERVIEW: The Fullrun PC388 is a touring, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs.All season traction is guaranteed at all times. The all season compound and the detailed symmetric ribbed tread design improve the dry, wet, and winter weather grip on the road surface. The durable compound elements allow the tire to improve the flexibility of the rubber materials, optimizing the summer and winter weather performance. The siping and notch placement of the footprint help the tire boost the surface grip, with the use of extra biting edges. The circumferential grooves increase the hydroplaning resistance, by eliminating water and slush from the footprint.The tread design with the solid center rib improves the surface contact at all times. The tread elements enable the tire to upgrade the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. As a result, the tire greatly upgrades the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's commands, while the structure is secured against the driving pressure. The angled lateral grooves generate friction between the tire and the road surface, in order to significantly shorten the overall braking distance.A fuel efficient performance is ensured with this tire model. The all season compound and the tread design's close road contact ease the driving pressure off the tire, minimizing the rolling resistance. The rolling resistance is the pressure affecting the tire which determines the vehicle's necessary fuel intake levels. Lowering the rolling resistance significantly decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emission levels. This results in a fuel conscious and environmentally friendly driving experience.The Fullrun PC388 greatly improves the comfort levels. The closed shoulder detail and the close road contact reduce the road noise and vibration felt by the passengers. The closed shoulder pattern lowers the road noise levels as it prevents sound wave formations while the tires are in motion. On the other hand, the road contact absorbs the driving shock, lessening the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. This combination promotes a quiet and comfortable performance, by guaranteeing the passenger's 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.
