Closed Shoulder Design
The closed shoulder design of the tire effectively reduces road noise, ensuring a quieter ride for drivers and passengers. At the same time, this design maintains excellent handling and cornering performance, providing stability and responsiveness even during sharp turns or sudden maneuvers.
Four Main Groove Design
Featuring four wide circumferential grooves, the tire significantly reduces the risk of hydroplaning by efficiently channeling water away from the contact patch. This design enhances wet traction, improving grip and safety on rain-soaked roads.
Optimized Depth for Lateral Grooves and Sipes
The tire incorporates a carefully engineered depth for both lateral grooves and sipes, ensuring optimal stiffness across all tread blocks. This balanced stiffness not only improves tread wear uniformity but also extends the overall mileage of the tire, allowing for longer-lasting performance.
Optimized Variable Pitch Tread Pattern
Utilizing computer simulations, the tread pattern features an optimized variable pitch arrangement. This advanced design minimizes noise generated by the tread blocks contacting the road surface, resulting in a quieter and more comfortable driving experience for occupants.
Silica-Infused Tread Compound
The new silica-infused tread compound enhances grip on wet and slippery surfaces, providing superior traction in challenging conditions. Additionally, the silica formulation reduces rolling resistance, contributing to improved fuel efficiency and a safer, more economical drive1.
