The better stiffness maintains contact road contact which, during braking, creates friction that enables the tire to shorten its braking distance. In this manner, the tire becomes safer to use in all weather conditions. The tie bar, working together with the internal high tensile steel belt structure, also prevents irregular tread wear patterns from forming across the tread area. The internal structure stabilizes the tire, while the tie bar stabilizes the tread elements and, as they do not shift around, even tread wear is ensured. This makes the tire's usability last and extends its tread life.
