Questions about this item

How often will the 9/32 tread depth need checking before the 195/55R16 87H XL tire reaches the legal limit?

The tire starts with 9/32 inch of tread; check depth at each rotation or oil change and replace once it wears down to 2/32 inch, which is the legal minimum in most regions.

What limit appears first during a long motorway run on this summer touring tire?

The H speed rating caps sustained use at 130 mph, so prolonged driving above that speed is the first hard limit you will encounter.

How much road noise and heat does the asymmetric tread generate on an all-day summer drive?

The optimized asymmetric pattern and summer compound are designed to lower rolling resistance and reduce noise, delivering a quieter, cooler run on extended trips.
