Firstly, the tire compound and closed shoulder slots slow the tread wear rate down and promote an even tread wear. This is achieved as the tread compound is wear-resistant, while the tread design equally distributes the driving pressure along the tread area, preventing irregular wear formations across the tread. The tire's special damage resistance also extends its usability. The stone ejectors prevent stone retention, the TBR compound avoids cuts, chipping and tearing, and the dual sidewall protectors prevent damage to the tire's construction. The result is a longer lasting usability and tread wear length.
