 Tread Design and Longevity

The ADVANCE GL260D is defined by its innovative tread pattern, which features serrated siping for outstanding winter
traction and 3D technology for tread block support. This design provides excellent grip for both braking and
acceleration. The tread is made from a special silica compound that slows the treadwear rate, and the optimized
footprint evenly distributes pressure to prevent irregular wear, ensuring a long and reliable service life.

Key features of the tread design include:

1. Serrated Siping for exceptional winter traction.
2. 3D Technology for tread block support during braking and acceleration.
3. Special Silica Compound for a slower treadwear rate.
4. Wide Circumferential Grooves for efficient water evacuation.
5. Optimized Footprint for even pressure distribution.

The tread is engineered to provide maximum grip and a long service life, making it a cost-effective solution for
regional fleets.

Performance and Speed

The ADVANCE GL260D is rated for a maximum speed of 75 mph (Speed Rating L) and features a robust 20-ply (Load Range L)
construction. This heavy-duty build allows it to carry extremely heavy loads with confidence. The stable tread design
and reinforced internal structure prevent the tire from deforming under load, which improves handling and overall
driving stability. Drivers will benefit from the tire’s powerful braking, confident acceleration, and predictable
handling, which enhance safety in all weather conditions.
