Otani SA1000 FEATURES AND BENEFITS All weather traction Enhanced controllability Reduced road noise levels OVERVIEW The Otani SA1000 is a touring all season tire manufactured for SUVs. Otani offers a 50,000 mile treadwear warranty with this model. The tire promotes excellent all weather traction. The semi-asymmetric tread design increases the dry, wet and winter weather road gripping ability thanks to the detailed siping pattern that keeps the tire’s road grip at all times. The design’s circumferential and lateral grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire’s footprint. The combination of the superb hydroplaning resistance and great all weather traction ensures a comfortable driving experience in all weather. The tread pattern keeps the tire close to the road surface. The design manages to improve the steering responsiveness and driving stability as its continuous center rib closely follows the road surface at all times. In this manner, the steering becomes faster and more precise in its responsiveness to the driver’s commands, while the tire’s structure is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting the tires during the drive. The shoulder tread blocks boost the cornering and maneuvering ability and power to guarantee a safer year round performance. The SA1000 ensures a comfortable and quiet driving experience. The optimized variable pitch sequence of the tread design negates the road noise generated while the tires are in motion. During the drive, the variable pitch sequence creates a sound frequency that cancels out all road and tread pattern noise and prevents them from reaching the vehicle’s cabin. The result is an enjoyable drive and performance. 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.
