Description

The Starfire Solarus AS tire represents a revolution in the tire industry, delivering unmatched all-season performance for passenger cars and crossover vehicles. Designed to replace the Starfire SF340 and Starfire RS-C 2.0 models, the Solarus AS introduces advanced technologies and design features that set a new standard for all-season tires.

  • Enhanced Tread Compound and Profile: The Solarus AS is engineered with a sophisticated tread compound and an optimized tread profile, ensuring exceptional traction in wet, dry, and winter conditions.
  • Strategically Placed Lateral Shoulder Grooves: Deep, lateral shoulder grooves enhance traction, maintaining excellent grip throughout the tire's lifespan.
  • Advanced Siping Technology: Carefully positioned sipes provide additional biting edges for superior handling and stability in all types of weather conditions.

The Enhanced Tread Compound of the Solarus AS is the cornerstone of its all-season capabilities. This innovative compound allows for a flexible response to changing weather conditions, ensuring reliable performance whether the road is hot and dry, wet, or covered in light snow. The tire's ability to maintain grip and stability in diverse conditions is a testament to Starfire's commitment to safety and durability.

With its Optimized Tread Profile, the Solarus AS promotes even wear, extending the tire's life and ensuring that its high level of performance is maintained over time. The deep, lateral shoulder grooves are not just for show; they play a crucial role in water evacuation, reducing the risk of hydroplaning and enhancing wet traction.

The inclusion of Advanced Siping Technology means the Solarus AS is equipped with numerous small incisions in the tread area. These sipes increase the tire's flexibility, allowing it to conform better to the road surface and providing additional grip points for improved handling in adverse conditions. This technology is especially beneficial in winter, when traction is critical.

Designed for drivers seeking a blend of value and performance, the Starfire Solarus AS offers the ultimate solution for all-season driving. Experience the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle is equipped with tires designed to handle any condition, all year round.

I ordered rims and they were delivered in really good time. They look even better than the picture. This was the only company that I could find 14" rims for my 2012 Hyundai Accent. I even asked a tire shop to order me some and they could not find any. I gave them the number for PMCTire...lol

They had BY FAR the best deal on tires. Shipped quickly and tires were fresh (not even 3 months old). Would recommend.

Tire order was well priced and arrived very quickly. New Hercules rubber looks great on my Cherokee TH!

Great selection, great service, extremely fast shipping. Will do business again for sure next time I need tires! 9 times buyer, more to come! Also, their customer service and support is top notch. Recently bought some steel rims for a 2017 jeep compass, along with tpms sensors for a customer of mine. I was stupid and jumped the gun and installed the sensors and mounted the tires on the rims before test fitting them. Unfortunately, the rims didn't clear the front calipers. I received amazing support trying to rectify the situation. They even sent me a selection of spacers for free to try and make them work. In the end, I was not able to make them fit properly. They took back all items, shipping prepaid, and issued a full refund! This level of service and support is extremely rare these days. I simply can not say how impressed and satisfied I am with pmctire.com! Customer for life!
