important benefits:

are smoother, more pleasureable
than with original equipment
shocks, even on the roughest roads.
2. INCREASED SAFETY-your
tires stay more firmly on the road
for faster braking, surer steering.
3. GREATER ECONOMY - you
get more tire mileage; less wear
and tear on front-end parts.
