The tread design's center rib keeps the tire's road contact, which eases the driving pressure off the tire. This lowers the rolling resistance, which, in turn, decreases the vehicle's fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. The reduced levels of fuel consumption make the tire fuel efficient and environmentally friendly. The lessened rolling resistance also slows the tread wear rate down significantly. The tread design prevents irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. The slower tread wear rate and even wear extend the tread life and the tire's usability greatly.
