The tire is more fuel efficient and environmentally friendly, as it lowers the fuel consumption and the CO2 emissions of the vehicle with the reduced rolling resistance. The decreased rolling resistance also eases the force and driving pressure off of the tire. This results in a slower wear rate on the tires, extending the tread's lifetime.

The tread pattern and the tire compound increase the tire's cornering ability by providing additional biting edges. The braking distance was shortened as well, because the Black Chili compound and the tread pattern build up heat at the moment of braking. The increased cornering and maneuvering ability and power, combined with the shorter braking distance, offer a safer driving experience.

The tire responds swiftly and precisely to the commands of the driver, making its controllability effortless. The better control over the tire also offers better road feedback, making the driver able to respond to changing road conditions quickly.

However, this tire will not perform well in winter, as the tire compound loses its traction in colder temperatures. The wide circumferential grooves in the tread pattern help avoid hydroplaning by channeling water from below the footprint of the tire.
