The directional tread design, the high performance compound and the stronger construction work together to optimize the tire for its high speed performance. The directional tread pattern keeps the tire's road contact at all times and evenly distributes the driving pressure along the tread area to provide the tire's greatest high speed capability. The compound maintains the model's road grip even during its high speed performance, while also actively preventing heat build-up along the tread area. The strengthened internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape against the driving pressure affecting the model. This allows the tire to perform at its best high speed capability, without allowing the structure to deform under the pressure affecting it. This combination guarantees a first-rate high speed performance, which makes the tire suitable for both the racetrack and for everyday high speed driving.
