Achilles Desert Hawk H/T 2 Tires
The Achilles Desert Hawk H/T 2 is a touring, summer tire manufactured for SUVs. Achilles offers a 60,000 mile warranty with new tires. The large shoulder blocks maintain road contact, which increases the steering responsiveness and stability. This promotes a quick and precise steering responsiveness to the driver’s instructions. The directional stability is also upgraded with the solid center grip and the interlocking tread blocks. They stabilize the tire during the drive, which ensures a secure driving experience.
The tire offers good cornering and braking abilities. The interlocking tread block design on the shoulder area boosts the road gripping ability, by providing additional biting edges. As a result, the tire’s cornering ability and power are improved greatly. The larger shoulder tread blocks keep the tire’s contact with the road constantly, which shortens the braking distance by creating friction at the moment of braking.
The Achilles Desert Hawk H/T 2 has great summer weather traction, thanks to the tread design and the silica-based tire compound. The silica in the compound enhances the wet weather traction, along with the four circumferential grooves that disperse water from below the tire footprint. The water evacuating ability also boosts the hydroplaning resistance, which makes driving the tire in rain safer. The silica keeps the tire’s rubber flexibility in hot temperatures to ensure a secure performance. The model is not meant to be used in winter weather conditions, as it will not maintain its optimal road gripping ability in the colder weather temperatures.
