Nitto Tire has launched the NT421Q, its new all-season UHP tire line for the CUV and SUV replacement tire market.
The tire, available in 31 sizes with three more to follow, is designed to offer a versatile product line for dealers to accommodate a variety of popular vehicle fitments, according to the tiremaker.
"The NT421Q is a product created through the fusion of several new technologies," said Alan Ngo, Nitto Tire USA senior staff engineer. "We have incorporated technologies traditionally found only in specific weather and performance dedicated tires to create a product that truly thrives in all weather conditions."
The NT421Q features advanced siping technologies to increase both grip and tread block rigidity under acceleration, braking and cornering conditions, Nitto said, adding the tire’s tread compound incorporates new high-grip polymer, wear-oriented polymer and increased silica for enhanced safety performance and longevity. It also features Intelligent Maintenance Indicators that “provide an early alert for irregular wear and potential issues with the vehicles suspension alignment.”
The NT421Q is backed by a 75,000-mile warranty for H and V speed-rated sizes and 60,000 miles for W speed-rated sizes. UTQG ratings are 640 AA for H and V speed-rated sizes and 560 AA for W speed-rated sizes.
