Firestone Affinity A/S Tires
The Firestone Affinity A/S is a performance and high performance, all season tire made for passenger vehicles and SUVs. Firestone offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty for W speed rated sizes, and a 65,000 mile treadwear warranty for V and H speed rated sizes of this model.
The tread pattern’s placement maintains surface contact at all times. This allows the tire to enhance its steering responsiveness and driving stability. The model ensures faster and more precise steering response throughout the performance, while the structure is secured during the drive. Cornering and maneuvering are boosted by the stabilized shoulder block pattern and the siping design. These tread elements provide extra biting edges during maneuvering, strengthening the tire’s grip on the surface. This ensures the driver has better control over the vehicle at all times.
The detailed footprint and all weather compound work together to enhance its dry, wet, and winter-weather grip. The tread elements provide additional biting edges, while the compound keeps the rubber flexible in changing temperatures. The ideal groove placement prevents hydroplaning during the tire’s performance. Water and slush are dispersed, preventing them from cutting off the footprint’s surface contact.
The stabilized footprint and the strong compound enable the tire to increase the tread life. The tread ensures even pressure circulation across the tread area, avoiding irregular wear formations. Strong compound elements decrease the treadwear rate as well, by using wear-resistant compound elements. The slow and even wear boosts the service life.
The Firestone Affinity A/S’s tread pattern features a variable pitch pattern, which helps keep road noise minimal. This pattern generates a special sound frequency while the tires are in motion. As a result, the tires negate sound waves, not allowing them to reach the vehicle’s cabin. This ensures the passengers’ driving enjoyment, offering excellent comfort levels.
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.
