Features and Benefits

All-season tires are meant to keep you going year-round without the need to replace them unless you’re considering off-road or severe winter drives. They are designed to perform great in dry, wet, and light winter weather conditions. The Hiscend-H HT01 promises to be that tire.

• Improved traction and grip – The symmetric tread design with four circumferential grooves quickly channels out water from the tread to avoid the risk of hydroplaning. The wavy sipes on the shoulders and tie bars not only provide extra biting edges and improved high-speed stability. Block edge design provides better handling and wet traction.
• Low noise, high comfort – The tread block design balances pressure, reduces noise, and increases the contact patch surface touching the road. The variable pitch sequencing ensures the sound waves are trapped within the tread and you enjoy a quiet and comfortable ride quality.
• Extra durability – The reinforced construction is ensured by a jointless bead cover that has a spiral steel band wrapped around the beads for a smooth ride and structural rigidity. The rim protector safeguards the sidewall against any possible damage.
