Welcome to Affordable Tire
Company your Traction Specialists. We are dedicated to your
satisfaction and safety, Especially SAFETY! which
is why we offer Saf-Tee Tire Siping. Siping is one of the most affordable
ways you can improve the total Performance and Longevity of your tires.
We believe in this process 100% and recommend it to all of our extended family
members.
The
origins of Siping have been explained several ways but the fundamental
aspects of the story remain the same. The process of siping was first
patented in the 1920's by a slaughter house employee named John
Sipe, who made a series of small cuts in his shoes to give him
better traction on the slaughter floor. His idea was a simple yet
an ingenious solution to a common problem.
His solution still holds true today. The Siping
process although simple in nature has been perfected using our experience
and passion to create a truly remarkable process. Try it today and
see for yourself. Sipe your tires, you and your families safety
is riding on it.

Better Traction |
|
|
|
The tread
surface on your tire is made up of many smaller surfaces know as "Tread
Blocks". The reason for so many surfaces is especially important when
it comes to icy or wet road conditions. The Tread Blocks get their gripping
power not from their many smooth surfaces but from the even more numerous
sharp surrounding edges. SIPING improves the job started by your tire
manufacturer by providing more of these gripping edges. |
|
Improved Braking |
|
|
|
Research
has shown that the most effective braking power occurs immediately prior
to losing traction. Siping extends the window allowed for maximum braking
power by giving the existing tread a helping hand. In the examples to
the right notice how the SIPED tire has dozens more gripping edges. These
micro edges reduce the distance needed for braking on dry, wet and icy
roads |

Smoother
Ride |
|
|
|
New asphalt
is relatively smooth but, time and wear exaggerates the coarse texture
of the roads surface causing your tires to absorb most of the impact.
SIPING gives your tires a Micro-Flexibility reducing the wear on your
tires carcass and sidewalls. This effect not only increases tire life
but will result in a smoother ride. |
|
Increased
Tire Life |
|
|
|
| SIPING reduces the heat and
its effect on your tire by allowing it to cool. As depicted in the illustrations
above the SIPED tire runs cooler due to the heat dispersing effect of the
SIPES themselves. Much like your cars radiator, heat is isolated into smaller
groups and air passing between these areas cause a natural cooling effect. |
