Gladiator X Comp H/P 255/40ZR17 255/40R17 98W XL High Performance Summer Tire

Gladiator X Comp H/P

OVERVIEW

The Gladiator X Comp H/P is a high performance, summer tire created for passenger cars and SUVs.

The model comes with a premium summer compound that provides outstanding wet and dry weather traction. It also has an asymmetric tread design that further enhances its performance in dry and wet conditions. The race-inspired tread footprint maintains consistent contact with the road surface. The rubber blend is optimized to prevent heat build-up and keep the traction consistent. Due to the circumferential grooves, the tire channels a big portion of the water away from the footprint. This way, it offers partial aquaplaning prevention.

The tire comes with a special tread pattern that boosts its surface contact. Its strong and lightweight structure and the carefully siped tread ensure consistent contact with the asphalt. Since the tread footprint is rather wide, the model improves the driving stability and steering responsiveness by a great deal. This makes it easier for the driver to control the vehicle, as it responds to all commands promptly and with great accuracy. Meanwhile, its structure is secured against driving pressure affecting the tire. The wide outer shoulder supports the tire during cornering and improves its braking ability with the lateral siping.

The tire demonstrates exceptional high speed durability. It promotes a special heat-resistant rubber blend that prevents heat accumulation at high speeds. This model also has a racing structure that ensures top performance at all times. The tire’s high speed performing ability is optimized by an even pressure and heat distribution across the tread. The X Comp HP maintains its optimal shape despite the huge driving pressure affecting it, guaranteeing driving safety.

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.
