Crosstek2

Nitto® CROSSTEK®2’s tread incorporates service indicators to help monitor alignment and treadwear. Keeping you visually informed, these service indicators make proper tire maintenance and rotation issues easily identifiable.

Service indicators are found at 6 positions around the tire on both shoulder ribs. If the service indicators on one side wear faster than the other, the vehicle may need additional servicing. Frequent tire rotation and proper tire maintenance is essential to maximizing the life of your tires.

In addition to a tread pattern designed to minimize noise, the Nitto® CROSSTEK®2 features circumferential grooves with dense serrations on its walls to reduce “pipe resonance noise”. Circumferential grooves become a “pipe” when the tire contacts the road surface, and the air in the groove is compressed and released suddenly. This phenomenon also creates the sound in a flute. The serrations on the circumferential groove walls disturb the air flow to help minimize this “pipe resonance noise”.
