The special, ultra-high summer compound and the asymmetric, ribbed tread design upgrade the tire's dry and wet weather grip. Heat build-up is avoided as the silica elements of the compound keep the tire cool during its performance. On the other hand, a better road-to-rubber ratio optimizes the model's surface grip, providing the necessary traction. Circumferential grooves disperse water from below the footprint, preventing it from cutting off the road contact. As a result, hydroplaning is effectively avoided.
