The symmetric ribbed tread design does not only provide a vintage aesthetic to the tire, but it also helps to improve its surface grip. As a result, the tire is able to securely perform in dry and wet conditions. On the other hand, the durable compound blend keeps the tire pliable by preventing heat accumulation. The possibility of hydroplaning is also greatly lowered, as the tire disperses water from the footprint. This leads to a safer performance on wet roads.
