OVERVIEW
The Sumitomo ST908 is a highway terrain, all season tire manufactured for commercial vehicles. It was made to be mounted on the vehicle’s drive axle.
The tread pattern and all season tire compound increase the all weather traction. The compound maintains the rubber flexibility throughout the tire’s lifetime, guaranteeing a safer performing capability all year round. The symmetric tread designs special siping detail and open shoulder pattern increase the dry, wet and winter weather grip the tire has on the road surface. The siping detail and shoulder blocks increase the number of biting edges gripping the road surface throughout the year, which enables the to safely perform on ice and snow as well. The shoulder pattern upgrades the hydroplaning resistance, as they disperse water and slush from below the tire’s footprint.
The model features a reinforced internal structure. This strengthened construction sports four steel belts that improve the tire’s driving and load durability. They maintain the tire’s optimal shape under the driving and load pressure affecting it. As the tire’s shape does not deform, the model is capable of handling heavy loads with ease. The stronger construction also manages to prevent damage harming the tire’s casing. It makes the tire puncture and cut resistant, providing a secure driving experience.
The ST908 upgrades the tire’s controllability. The tread design’s continuous center pattern keeps the tire’s road contact at all times, which upgrades the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its response to the driver’s commands, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the model. The better control enables the driver to confidently maneuver the vehicle in all conditions.
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.
