The asymmetric tread design’s optimized surface contact upgrades steering responsiveness and driving stability. The better road contact maintains surface contact during the drive, which increases the steering response time and accuracy to the driver’s commands. On the other hand, it also improves the structural stability throughout the drive. The ideal shoulder block placement provides additional biting edges, which improves the cornering and maneuvering capability. These elements ensure a safe driving experience.

The model also promotes great high speed performance. The ideal tread design closely follows the road surface even at high speeds and prevents pressure accumulation, while the robust internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under driving pressure. Also, the heat-resistant compound protects the tire from heat build-up along the tread area, further optimizing the tire’s high speed performance. This improves driving durability.

The optimized tread design helps to lower road noise heard in the vehicle’s cabin. The siping pattern negates the sound waves generated while the tires are in motion. In other words, it ensures that road disturbances do not reach the vehicle’s cabin and ruin the passengers’ driving enjoyment. As a result, this guarantees a quiet and comfortable driving experience.

The ideal tread design and the summer compound improve dry and wet grip. In this manner, the ideal tread design closely follows the road in the summer season, while the compound prevents heat build-up in warm temperatures. On the other hand, large circumference grooves eliminate water from the footprint and prevent hydroplaning.
