The stone defense features actively eject rocks stuck between the tread elements before they can drill into the casing. This, along with the reinforced under-tread rubber thickness, prevents stone retention from harming the tire. The model's reinforced internal structure protects the casing from external damage. In other words, it avoids punctures, cuts and impact damage that could otherwise shorten the tire's service life. The stronger compound manages to resist the tread's chipping, cracking or tearing. The tire also features special curb guards on the sidewalls which protect the casing from in-service damage. These manufacturing elements ensure the tire's exceptional performance safety.
