The tread pattern and its optimal footprint maintain the tire's road contact at all times. This enhances steering responsiveness and driving stability. The asymmetric tread pattern enhances the number of biting edges that firmly grip the surface. This improves cornering and maneuvering, providing safer performance. The tread pattern's constant contact with the road surface and the special silica compound improves the tire's high speed performance. They enable the tire to perform to its best high speed capability.

This allows the tire to improve dry and wet weather performance. The summer compound elements avoid heat build-up along the tread area, optimizing summer traction. On the other hand, the tread elements maintain road contact and also upgrade the grip on the road surface. Circumferential grooves disperse water and slush from the footprint while maintaining surface contact and avoiding hydroplaning.

The ideal tread pattern and its constant contact with the road surface reduce road and tread noise levels. The ideal tread pattern creates a sound frequency that negates the noise heard while the tires are in motion. As road disturbances cannot ruin the passenger's enjoyment, the tire guarantees a quiet performance.
