- Circumferential tread grooves - Evacuates and channels water efficiently to help reduce hydroplaning and to improve wet traction - Asymmetrical tread pattern - Features large tread block elements on the outside shoulder features for dry performance, while the inner shoulder is comprised of a greater number of smaller tread elements to improve wet weather and snow traction without significantly sacrificing dry performance. - Summer Tread Design - Offers tenacious grip and superior handling on wet or dry roads for driving enthusiasts. - Spiral Wrap - Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability. - Stealth Blocks with New 3D Design - Promote higher tread stiffness for improved handling while enhancing water evacuation. - L.L. Carbon (Long Link) - Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure - O-Bead - Improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction - Steel belt construction - Adds durability and resists punctures - Large Outer Tread Blocks - Improve cornering performance. - CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System) - Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
