what are touring tires

Touring tires are a type of tire designed for all-season use and are ideal for sedans, minivans, SUVs, and other passenger vehicles. They offer balanced handling, a comfortable and quiet ride, and extended tread life. Touring tires are known for having a relatively wide tread, which allows them to make more surface contact with the road, providing predictable, balanced handling while evolving to include more performance features. They are designed to be used year-round and offer capable handling, reasonable traction across a range of road conditions, often superior fuel economy (low rolling resistance), and significant tread life/mileage potential. Touring tires are intended to be a solid, unobtrusive foundation for just about any variety of on-road travels. They are a reliable option if you drive a lot, whether that’s on your work-to-errand-to-school-pickup route or if you’re getting ready for a cross-country road trip with the kids.
