The tread's surface contact improves the steering responsiveness and the driving stability. In other words, the tire is quicker and more precise in its response to the driver's commands, greatly optimizing the driver's control over the vehicle. The close surface contact also enables the tire to absorb the shock of driving while the tires are in motion. This results in a better driving stability and higher driving comfort levels. The tread design decreases the road vibrations felt by the passengers, while it secures the structural stability throughout the performance.
