The stronger performance construction keeps the ideal tire shape under the driving pressure, while the ribbed tread pattern and the optimal tire shape maintain the surface contact at all times. This allows the tire to improve the steering responsiveness and accuracy to the driver's instructions while optimizing the driving stability during the drive. The tread elements also enhance the cornering and braking abilities. The micro-gauge sipes manage to generate friction at the moment of braking, which greatly shortens the braking distance. On the other hand, the shoulder's block pattern provides additional biting edges to grip the road surface during maneuvering, offering a safer cornering capability.
