The continuous center rib of the tread pattern improves the handling of the model, offering more control over the tire. The driver is thus able to respond accurately and quickly to the changing road conditions and situations. The braking distance of the tire was also shortened, with the larger footprint and the excellent summer traction, making the tire safer to use. The tire's high speed uniformity was also boosted. It maintains its shape even under the pressure of high speed driving, as its steel belt reinforced structure is more durable. This durability stabilizes the tread and makes maneuvering easier.
