The Mastercraft Stratus AP is a tire suitable for SUVs and light trucks that is designed for use on highways and in all seasons. It comes with a warranty of 50,000 miles for the treadwear. The tire ensures good traction in all types of weather conditions with its unique tread design. It has an all season compound that improves grip on dry, wet, and winter roads. The compound also maintains its flexibility in both hot summer and cold winter conditions, ensuring optimal performance year-round. The tread design has additional biting edges that enhance grip on the road surface, and the groove pattern helps prevent hydroplaning by dispersing water and slush. The tire's surface has been stabilized to increase contact with the road, leading to improved controllability. This, in turn, enhances the tire's steering responsiveness and driving stability, allowing the driver to have faster and more precise steering control. The tire's cornering power is also improved by the shoulder block pattern, which includes additional biting edges. During braking, the siping and groove pattern generate friction that significantly reduces the braking distance. These tread elements also enhance the tire's handling and maneuverability. Additionally, the Mastercraft Stratus AP is designed for longer-lasting usability. The stabilized tread elements allow for better pressure circulation across the entire tread area, preventing uneven wear. The durable compound used in the tire reduces the rate of treadwear, leading to a longer service life. This slow and even wear enhances the overall performance and lifespan of the tire. Lastly, the tire is designed to provide a comfortable driving experience. The zigzag tread elements effectively channel airwaves through the footprint, preventing them from generating sound waves that could disrupt the passengers' enjoyment. This results in a quiet and pleasant driving experience.
