The directional tread pattern cuts through surface water to help prevent hydroplaning. Directional capability also helps provide outstanding traction and handling.
Spiral wound nylon overwrap combats centrifugal force under high-speed applications. This ability inhibits tire 'growth' and maintains stability and carcass integrity.
The hardened rubber compound, or bead filler, above the bead discourages sidewall flex in cornering. The result is crisp handling.
This design feature puts deep tread in the center and slightly shallower tread in the shoulders. This puts more rubber down in the fastest wearing part of the tire, the center. The result is less weight and improved wet handling.
