It combines the directional tread design and its summer compound to improve dry and wet grip. The minimalistic footprint maintains the tire's surface grip by optimizing the rubber-to-road ratio. On the other hand, durable compound elements avoid heat build-up across the tread area. The footprint's circumferential and angled lateral grooves disperse water from below the tire, effectively minimizing the possibility of hydroplaning. However, like most racing tires, careful driving is still recommended in wet conditions.
