The tread's excellent controllability is the result of its wider footprint, which keeps its road contact constant, and the stronger sidewall construction, which prevents the shape's deformation. This combination boosts the steering response time and accuracy to the driver's instructions, while also stabilizing the tire structure. The shoulder tread block pattern heightens the number of biting edges, which upgrades the cornering ability and power. In turn, the increased cornering ability and power upgrade the tire's secure high speed performance.
