This, along with the flat tire footprint, increases the model's braking capability by improving the road contact. The better road contact allows the tire to offer a shorter braking distance. The bigger and flat footprint provides a wider road contact area that creates friction, while the stiff braking tread blocks maintain their optimal shape and do not deform under the driving pressure. The friction created at the moment of braking makes the tire stop shorter. This enhances the driving safety greatly.
