While it does feature a minimalistic tread design with optimal block placement, the tire's true strength lies with its compound. It was molded from a special rubber blend that utilizes carbon NanoTube as an ingredient. This keeps the tire's rubber flexibility, enabling its dry, wet, and light winter weather performance. Additionally, the footprint features circumferential and angled lateral grooves that channel water and slush to prevent hydroplaning.

The tread's solid center rib maintains surface contact at all times, upgrading steering responsiveness and driving stability. The shoulder block pattern boosts cornering, while the special compound and lateral grooves shorten the braking distance. The carbon NanoTube compound and reinforced sidewall pattern work together to increase its high speed durability. As a result, the tire can securely perform at its best high speed capability.

The solid tread elements and stronger shoulder block placement enable the tire's even pressure circulation. This avoids irregular and premature wear along the tread area, significantly increasing its tread life.
