OVERVIEW: The Hemisphere Aethon 4X4 HP is a performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Hemisphere offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model.The model has excellent all weather traction, thanks to the tread design and all season compound. The asymmetric tread design and the compound offer excellent dry, wet, and winter weather grip. The tread design firmly grips the road surface with extra biting edges. At the same time, the durable compound prevents heat build-up along the tread in hot summer temperatures and keeps the rubber flexible in cold winter conditions. Wide circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush from below the footprint, which protects the model from slipping in wet situations.Excellent controllability is guaranteed with this tire. The asymmetric tread design and the durable compound promote great high speed performance. The tread design closely follows the road surface, boosting steering responsiveness and driving stability. The steering response time is quicker and more precise to the driver's instructions, while the structure is secured against driving pressure. The model also offers great cornering and maneuvering ability, thanks to the wide shoulder block placement that increases the number of biting edges. The durable compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area during high speed drive. The tread design and the durable compound promote superb and safe high speed performance.The wide contact patch and the durable compound work together to upgrade the tire's service life and usability. The consistent road contact and the wide patch evenly distribute driving pressure along the tread, while the durable compound slows the treadwear rate down. This combination protects the tire from irregular and premature wear formations. Thanks to the slow and even wear, the model guarantees a longer-lasting tread life and usability.The Hemisphere Aethon 4X4 HP offers a comfortable drive. The optimized tread design closely follows the road surface to reduce road noise levels heard in the vehicle's cabin. The tread design decreases road noise heard while the tires are in motion. The tread pattern negates sound waves generated during the drive before they can be heard by the passengers. As a result, the tire offers a quiet and comfortable 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.
