The asymmetric tread design and summer compound boost dry and wet grip. In this manner, the optimal tread design can closely follow the road surface in the summer season. On the other hand, the summer compound protects the tire against heat build-up along the tread area in warm temperatures. At the same time, large circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning. These grooves eliminate water from the footprint and enhance performance in wet situations.

This tread design and close road contact improve steering responsiveness and driving stability. In other words, the steering response time is quicker and more precise to the driver's instructions while the structure is stabilized against driving pressure. The large shoulder blocks also increase cornering and maneuvering while the siping detail shortens the braking distance. These elements promote a safe driving experience, boosting the driver's control over the vehicle.

This ideal tread design and its close road contact work together to upgrade the passengers' enjoyable ride. This rubber compound absorbs the shock of driving, which reduces vibrations felt in the vehicle's cabin. As vibrations do not ruin the passengers' enjoyment, it offers a vibration-free ride.
