The Doral SDL 65A tire is an inexpensive all-season high performance passenger car tire that has long tread-life, and good handling on dry and wet roads. The long tread-life is thanks to a hard rubber compound that resists wear due to frequent starts and stops in the city, as well as good resistance to wear due to heat when operating at higher speeds on the open highway. The tread pattern resists hydro-planing and gives good wet traction because of the wide circumferential center groove and large spaces between the tread blocks that allows water to escape from under the tread on rain soaked roads.
