The stronger compound protects the tire from tread damage. It reinforces the tire against tread chipping, cracking and tearing. On the other hand, the tread design's high void ratio manages to eliminate the rocks stuck between the tread elements. As rocks cannot lodge between the tread elements, it allows the tire to effectively prevent stone retention. The model's all steel casing protects the tire from punctures and impact damage as well. This prevents damage from causing the tire's downtime, optimizing the service life.
