All-season tires Goodride St313 7 R16C and designed for cars, light trucks, and light vehicles.
Summer tire Goodride ST 313 is designed for commercial vehicles based on compact cars. Differs in high carrying capacity for its size, fuel efficiency, durability. In motion, it is characterized by comfortable handling under heavy weight load, stability, and efficiency when braking on wet surfaces.
The tread pattern has a non-directional design. The large block sizes and the optimized tread profile of the tire underweight load increase the contact patch, which positively affects both traction and handling, as well as resistance to wear. The large length of the transverse edges and the presence of multidirectional sipes increase the efficiency of the tread on a wet surface. This ensures high resistance to aquaplaning due to the large volume of drainage grooves.
It is a summer tire suitable for circulating in normal environmental conditions and during the hottest months when the road has warmer temperatures. It has a width of 7 mm, a profile of 80 mm, and a diameter of R15. Its loading speed is 110, which equates to a maximum load of 2100 lb. This is a summer inexpensive tire suitable for use in FURGON.
The speed index of a tire means the maximum speed at which a vehicle can move on a given tire.
Main characteristics:
- Features a reinforced sidewall design that provides high strength to the wheel, preventing cuts and abrasion on city roads.
- Increased strength is provided by a triple layer of polyester, making it possible to carry heavy loads without compromising driving stability
- Four zigzag grooves guarantee excellent driving quality on the asphalt road surface
About tires in general
These tires were originally designed with the driving characteristics of modern SUVs in mind. Therefore, the ST 313 speed index is H / V. This means that the tires are suitable for continuous operation at speeds up to 200 mph. What's more, these tires are designed to withstand the stresses that inevitably come from the wheels of vehicles with a high center of gravity. This ST 313 is equipped with reinforced side inserts, which make the tire somewhat heavier, but at the same time provide it with additional reliability in the roll when cornering.
Advantages
Acceptable cost. Just go to any tire dealer that has an ST 313 in their inventory and compare the price of those tires to any other all-season SUV tire. You will see for yourself that ST 313 is the perfect combination of affordable price and high quality.
Durability. ST 313 tires are warranted for 40,000 miles. That's a lot even for more expensive tires from better-known brands. Therefore, the ST 313 can be considered a truly reliable and durable tire for long-term daily use.
Optimal driving parameters when driving on different road surfaces. As already mentioned, the ST 313 is a tire that can be used on both normal roads and light off-road conditions. These tires are unlikely to be bought for serious off-road vehicles.
All-weather operation. It's no secret that truly all-season tires that perform equally well in winter and summer and provide excellent handling in the off-season are a myth. Nevertheless, ST 313 demonstrates versatility, albeit in a limited temperature range.
Comfortable driving. ST 313 provides a smooth ride regardless of pumped pressure and road surface quality. Another advantage is exchange rate stability. With these tires, you don't have to constantly steer to drive in a straight line. All this taken together provides driving comfort - a quality that is very important if you are going to be on a long journey.
Fuel economy. The ST 313 is a perfectly balanced tire and therefore offers much lower rolling resistance than most other all-season and off-road tires. Due to the lower rolling resistance, it is possible to maintain the required speed at lower engine speeds than in the case of using less balanced tires. As a result, it is possible to reduce fuel consumption by an average of 10-20% compared to conventional tires.
Great design. The ST 313 does not have an overly pronounced tread, and therefore these tires will look equally good on real SUVs, and city crossovers, and pickups. The neutral tread design and overall tire design make the ST 313 a truly versatile solution.
Disadvantages
As such, there are no shortcomings, at least if you listen to the feedback from those who bought these tires. But there are operating features that need to be taken into account before buying ST 313.
First of all, these tires are recommended to be used at temperatures from 77 to 23 F. These are the temperatures at which the rubber compound of the tread maintains acceptable stiffness values.
If you use ST 313 at temperatures above 77 F in the shade, the tread will soften, which, on the one hand, will prevent rolling, and on the other hand will increase rubber wear. Conversely, if these tires are used at temperatures below 23 F, the rubber will lose its original elasticity, which will weaken traction.
Another feature of the ST 313 is the high level of driving noise. Yes, ST 313 makes more noise when driving on asphalt than summer tires. But considering that the ST 313 is not just an all-season tire, but also an off-road tire, this noise level is quite acceptable. Moreover, these tires make much less noise than most other all-season and even more off-road tires.
Whom do we recommend?
First of all, we recommend buying ST 313 for those people who need high-quality tires, even if they are made by not the most famous brand. We also recommend these tires to practical car owners who do not intend to go to a tire fitting service with a change of season to change tires on their car. But again, these tires, as well as all other all-season tires, perform well in the temperature range from 77 to 23 F.
And finally, we recommend these tires to those car owners who bought their first SUV and still have not decided what they want from this car - optimal off-road driving or good driving performance when driving on public roads. Let this be your first all-around tire, which will help you know what to buy next - slick or more tread tires.
