These features work together to extend the tire's overall service life. It utilizes its ideal tread design to evenly distribute load and driving pressure across the tread area and effectively avoid irregular wear formations. The compound, on the other hand, slows down the tread wear rate and prevents premature wear. The ribbed tread is also able to lower the rolling resistance, which in return reduces fuel intake and CO2 emissions, thanks to the Blackhawk's Fuel Saving Technology.
