The special protector ribs and the durable tire compound work together to resist damage to the tread area, while the stronger structure upgrades the casing protection. The reinforced steel belt structure resists impact damage from harming the casing. The strengthened compound is damage resistant as it prevents the scrubbing, chipping and tearing of the tread, as well as cuts and bruises from haring the tread area. This results in a safer driving experience.
