Uniroyal® Launches Tiger Paw® Touring Line;
Updated Line Combines Excellent Durability With Performance
Greenville, S.C. (April 1, 2004) —
Uniroyal® Tire is introducing the Tiger Paw® Touring line of tires, which provides excellent tread life without compromising wet performance.Previous tire technology had resulted in a wet-wear compromise, but the new Uniroyal Tiger Paw Touring tire delivers on both thanks to technology advancements in material, tire design and manufacturing. In testing at the company's test facility, the Tiger Paw Touring tire demonstrated outstanding wear, dry braking and handling, wet braking and handling, resistance to hydroplaning and less noise. The Tiger Paw Touring tire will be available at Uniroyal dealers in 36 sizes beginning April 1, including 22 T-speed rated sizes (up to 118 mph) and 14 H-rated sizes (up to 130 mph). The T-speed rated sizes will feature an 80,000-mile manufacturer's standard treadwear limited warranty, the longest mileage warranty ever offered on a Uniroyal tire. The H-rated sizes will have a 55,000-mile warranty. V-rated sizes (up to 149 mph) will be introduced in the near future. "With a great mileage warranty and excellent dependability on wet and dry pavement, the Tiger Paw Touring line delivers true value for our customers," said Tim Jamison, brand director for Uniroyal Tire. "This tire is the perfect answer for consumers looking for a high-quality and fair- priced tire from a dependable brand." The touring tire category continues to grow in popularity as automakers equip more and more of their vehicles with speed-rated tires that combine a smooth and quite ride with performance handling. The Tiger Paw Touring tire fits a broad range of today's most popular cars and mini-vans including the Toyota Camry, the Honda Accord and the Dodge Caravan. Uniroyal® Tire is one of the world's leading manufacturers of tires for passenger and commercial cars, pick-ups, light trucks, mini vans and sport utility vehicles.
