The ideal tread design and the durable compound work together to boost the dry, wet and winter weather grip. The ETEC System optimizes the surface grip throughout the year, while the advanced all season compound keeps the rubber flexibility throughout the drive. The tread design's special circumferential and angled lateral grooves avoid hydroplaning. This enables the tire to further upgrade the wet and winter weather performing safety levels.

The model's special flat footprint and the ETEC System optimize the surface contact during the drive. In this manner, the tire enables the tire to boost the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. The steering becomes quicker and more precise, while the structure is stabilized against the driving pressure across the tread area. The shoulder tread pattern of the Performance Tread Profile enhances the number of biting edges gripping the road surface during cornering and maneuvering ability. The optimized tread elements enable the tire to improve the braking ability. The footprint generates friction between the tire and the road surface to reduce the braking distance. These tread elements ensure the tire's secure driving experience.

The ETEC System, the Dynamic Suspension System and the g-Control Sidewall Inserts work together to enable the tire to improve the high speed performing ability. These manufacturing elements ease the pressure off the tire and prevent heat build-up along the tread area, while the structure does not deform during the high speed performance. The tire, in this manner, is reinforced against the high speed pressure affecting the model. This enables the tire to securely perform at high speeds.

The Advanced Mold Design optimizes the surface contact throughout the drive. It creates a flat footprint and allows the tire to maintain the road contact at all times, which enables the tire to evenly distribute the driving pressure across the tread area. The equally spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking avoids irregular wear formations, significantly increasing the usability and the tread life.
