Features & Benefits
All-season tread
Outlined White Letter or Black sidewall depending on the tire's size
Features high angle lateral grooves that remove water for better all-season traction
Whether taking the kids on a trip or simply commuting to work, drivers of light trucks and SUVs long for a tire that performs year-round and is built to last. The ST5000 from Ohtsu was specifically designed for use on light trucks and SUVs thanks to its all-season capabilities. Full depth siping gives the ST5000 excellent traction on wet roads, plus strong all-season grip throughout the tire's life. Featuring a solid center rib to strengthen handling, the ST5000's four wide grooves within its tread remove water to increase hydroplaning resistance. The ST5000 is built with a joint-less nylon cap ply to increase its durability and promote a longer tread life 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.
