L. L. CARBON - Reinforces and stabilizes tire rubber, increasing wear resistance and helping to reduce chipping, cracking and tearing.
PARTICLE Z - This provides better grip in the wet than a silica compound.
O-BEAD II - Enhances tire performance with its new convex bead shape, through an even fit between tyre bead and wheel rim.
HYDRO EVACUATION SURFACE - Tiny ribs are molded into the sides of the grooves to reduce water turbulence, promoting the smooth and efficient evacuation of water from the tread surface. This helps prevent hydroplaning.
FLAT FORCE BLOCK - An improved tread block design realizes more uniform road contact that results in a smoother ride.
DUAL LAYER TREAD II - High grip compound appears at the tread center when the tire is new, and gradually replaces the cap compound as the tire wears to provide consistent wet performance throughout the life of the tire.
COMPREHENSIVE TYRE DESIGN METHOD (CTDM) II - Enhances tire design for better contact with the road surface while in motion to produce an even smoother and quieter ride.
CONSISTENT SURFACE CONTACT - Optimal 3D geometric block design for wet/dry handling, riding comfort & wear.
FUEL EFFICIENCY - Designed to reduce rolling resistance for improved fuel efficiency.
WEAR RESISTANCE - Designed to improve wear resistance, providing a longer tire life
STEERING RESPONSE - High level of steering response.
PERFORMANCE - Superior performance characteristics combining handling, cornering and braking
BRAKING - Excellent braking capability to increase safety
LOW NOISE - Tire designed to reduce noise.
WET PERFORMANCE - Exceptional handling in hazardous, wet conditions
RIDE COMFORT - Provides a smooth, comfortable ride
