As the tread wears out it does not lose its excellent traction, as the sipes in the tread pattern are present for the tire's entire life and they do not wear out. Also due to the special tread design, the handing of the tire is made easier. The wide shoulder ribs provide additional control over the tire and additional biting edges during cornering. The cornering ability and power are enhanced in this way and the tire's steering responsiveness is sharpened.
