The symmetric ribbed tread design improves the surface contact throughout the drive, which enhances the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In this manner, the structure is stabilized under the driving pressure, while the steering is faster and more precise in its response to the driver's commands. The optimal notch placement and the advanced silica compound work together to improve the braking power. These manufacturing elements create friction between the tire and the road surface, which greatly shortens the braking distance, even on wet road surface conditions. This guarantees a safer summer weather performance.
