Warm weather means road trip season for most drivers, but they need to make sure their tires are designed to perform in the higher temperatures. Ohtsu's FP8000 was built to give coupe and sedan drivers strong performance at a great value. A high-tension carcass provides increased steering response and high-speed stability, and the FP8000's four circumferential grooves within the tread boost hydroplaning resistance for improved wet weather performance. Featuring technology that reduces road noises for a quiet ride, the FP8000 includes a joint-less nylon cap ply to promote a long, even wear so that drivers stay on the road longer.
Yes, Ohtsu tires could be offered with the manufacturer's limited warranty under which Ohtsu tires could be covered against defects in manufacturing and workmanship down to 2/32" of the original usable tread or for 5 years from the date of manufacture, whichever is earlier. If a tire is unserviceable within the first 2/32” (1.6 mm) of the remaining tread depth, it will be replaced free of cost with a comparable Ohtsu tire and after the first 2/32” (1.6 mm) wear a prorated adjustment credit is made to the customer, based on the percentage of remaining usable tread depth, down to the remaining wear bars at which no credit is due.
Ohtsu tires could be made at one of Sumitomo Rubber Industries' manufacturing plants located in Indonesia or Japan.
