Firestone Affinity Touring
$100.00
Released June, 2003
The Pros:Very stable, even at high speeds, no wobble or shaking. Very little road noise on the highway or in the city. Long-wearing, can take it past its life expectancy and still have a decent amount of tread left.
The Cons:Can hydroplane on puddles if hit at high speeds. Tires spin on wet surfaces when accelerating from stop. Driving in the snow is tricky, not much traction.
The Firestone Affinity Touring is a low-cost tire with attractive styling. A solid center rib works with an optimized shoulder element for a quiet ride, and a serrated band on the reverse side is included for visual detail.

Diagonal and lateral siping is used to improve traction through snow and wet conditions, and silica is used in the tread compound to keep it flexible for better grip. The polyester cord used throughout the body helps with weight distribution across the tread, improving traction and reducing premature wear. Internally two steel radial belts help prevent punctures and tears.
