The tire puts a large rubber area on the road, establishing better traction. Four circumferential grooves drain water from beneath the footprint. This averts hydroplaning and delivers better road contact. The sipes across the tread create biting edges, for secure wet traction. The compound also enables the tire to be operational in hot summer months, without affecting its performance.

The shoulder area features many lateral lugs. They create additional biting edges, for stronger grip during cornering. The shoulders have elongated blocks that work well with the tire's increased road-to-rubber ratio, to produce a greater road contact area. This improves braking and enhances safety levels, especially during high speed driving. The central ribs maintain continual road contact boosting driving stability and the steering response to the driver's commands. Furthermore, the model is able to handle high speeds, thanks to its summer compound that raises heat resistance.

In such cases, the model is drivable for 50 miles as long as the speed limit maximum of 50 mph is kept. This allows the vehicle to arrive safely to a nearby location and either fix or change the tire. Since run flat tires have different constructions compared to regular tires, the two should not be mounted on the same car, as it will affect the vehicle's performance and lower driving safety levels.
