Firestone TZ300 is a durable and resistant tyre that performs well in any weather conditions prevailing in Poland in the summer. Utilising a symmetrical tread, the tyre ensures an excellent dry and wet grip. This improves the driving safety and means that with Firestone TZ300 you can feel very safe. The model is a more comfortable and safer version of Firestone TZ200 which was well known among drivers. With its soft lateral wall and reduced stiffness, the tyre transfers less vibrations, which positively translates into driving comfort. The symmetric tread performs excellent at water drainage. Apart from smooth drainage, the longitudinal grooves combined with transverse notches also ensure an even pressure of the tyre against the surface. The grip is therefore improved and the tread wears out evenly, ensuring a balanced performance over the course of its life. The numerous sipes and grooves of the tread help protect the tyre against the dangerous aquaplaning.
The assets of Firestone TZ300 include a short braking distance and excellent traction provided by a large number of longitudinal grooves and notches. Additionally, driving comfort is improved by the silent operation facilitated by the use of a block shoulder joint which reduces the noise level. Firestone TZ300 stands for top quality and performance which make everyday driving a real pleasure.
