Symbols

• Numerous grip edges with extra-large segments
• Grooves of new shapes
• Optimized pressure distribution
• Double-width grooves

Properties

• The segments penetrate the layer of water effectively and faster right down to the dry/wet surface.
• The extra wide segments remain open in the contact surface longer, and thus effectively penetrate the layer of water.
• On a wet surface during rolling a layer of water is created in front of the tire. The tire’s more round-shaped grooves reduce this water accumulation and thus reduce the risk of aquaplaning; similarly as the bow of a boat.
• The groove enables the braking track to increase; the contact surface is increased and more grip edges penetrate the layer of water.
• An even wear of the tire increases its mileage performance.
• Disperses water while maintaining contact with the road in the middle section of the tread.

Benefits

• Shorter braking distance on wet as well as dry roads and better resilience against aquaplaning
• Better mileage performance
