The switchback sipes improve the wet weather road gripping ability, while the variable sipe depth ensures dry weather performance. The model is not meant to be used in winter weather, as the compound does not maintain its superb road gripping ability in the colder temperatures. The wide circumferential grooves actively avoid hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint, making the driving experience safer in summer conditions.

This ensures an extended tread life, as the evenly spread out forces of acceleration, cornering and braking prevent irregular wear patterns from forming across the tread area. The equal distribution of the driving pressure allows the tire to last longer and it greatly increases its usability as well.

The Tension Comfort Technology promotes a rigid outer shoulder tread and a bead on the sidewall that boosts the steering responsiveness and accuracy. This, along with the variable depth sipes, makes the steering response to the driver's commands quick and precise. The tire's driving stability is also improved with the even distribution of the driving pressure and with the hybrid under-tread cap ply that uses aramid and nylon to improve the tread rigidity. The wide shoulder tread pattern increases the tire's road gripping ability. They provide additional biting edges in all summer conditions to offer an enhanced cornering and maneuvering ability. The better cornering, steering and stability promote effortless handling.

The Tension Control Technology offers a flexible middle sidewall that absorbs the shock of driving. The road vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin are reduced, making the driving experience more enjoyable.
