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 - Large outside shoulder blocks - Help deliver better cornering performance - Polyester Cord Body Plies - Helps provide a smooth ride. - Circumferential tread grooves - Evacuates and channels water efficiently to help reduce hydroplaning and to improve wet traction - Continuous Center Rib - Helps reduce noise while providing constant road contact to enhance straight-line stability. Enhance responsiveness, as well as wet and dry traction when accelerating or braking. - Ever-Black Sidewall Technology - Preserves sidewall appearance over time. - Steel belt construction - Adds durability and resists punctures - Wide Straight Grooves - Helps channel water for improved wet traction. - Spiral Wrap - Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability. - Summer Tread Design - Offers tenacious grip and superior handling on wet or dry roads for driving enthusiasts. - Wide Center Rib - Promotes quick steering response. - CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System) - Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
