Vogue Tyre Custom Built Radial VIII. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: All weather traction; Enhanced controllability; Comfortable driving experience; Longer lasting tread life; . OVERVIEW: The Vogue Tyre Custom Built Radial VIII is a performance and high performance, all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. This model has some touring sizes available as well. Vogue Tyre offers a 60,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. It comes with Vogue Tyre's signature gold and white sidewall design.The model ensures excellent all weather traction. The silica-enhanced Miracle Tread Compound maintains its flexibility even in colder temperatures, while its silica blend finds good traction in wet weather as well. The special compound and the asymmetric tread design work together to increase the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping capability. The diagonal cross center block pattern is specially designed to find grip on ice- and snow-covered road surfaces. The tread's wide circumferential grooves actively resist hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire's footprint. The better hydroplaning prevention and excellent all weather traction improve the year round driving safety.The tire guarantees a comfortable driving experience. The directional tread design manages to channel the airwaves through the tire's footprint without letting them come into contact with the tread elements. In this manner, the road and tread pattern noise is not generated while the tires are in motion. The special internal structure is optimized to ensure a vibration free drive. It enables the tire to closely follow the road surface in all weather and absorbs the shock of driving, decreasing the road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. As a result, the tire promotes a quiet and enjoyable performance.The special diagonal cross center block sequence increases the model's controllability. Its constant road contact boosts the steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering responsiveness becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver's commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it. The shoulder tread blocks and the special sidewall structure promote a secure cornering capability. The shoulder blocks heighten the number of biting edges that firmly grip the road surface, while the sidewall structure optimizes the sidewall's flexibility during maneuvering to guarantee a safer drive.The Custom Built Radial VIII provides a longer lasting tread life. The Miracle Tread Compound's silica blend manages to slow the tread wear rate down significantly. On the other hand, the tread design evenly spreads out the driving pressure across the tread area. The equally distributed forces of acceleration, cornering and braking actively resists irregular wear formations across the tire's surface. The slower even tread wear lengthens the tread life and the tire's 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.
