WET PERFORMANCE
|
|
Open Shoulder Tread Design
Helps evacuate water and improves wet traction and handling.
|
|
Key Hole Sipes
Improve wet traction by exposing wider sipes as the tire wears.
|
|
|
Pinhole Sipes
Help to drain surface water.
|
|
|
Circumferential Grooves
Help channel water out of the footprint area to improve resistance to hydroplaning.
|
|
|
Tapered Leading Tread Elements
Helps channel water for improved wet traction.
|
|
|
Asymmetric Tread Design
Optimizes performance in various conditions based on a tread pattern that varies from shoulder to shoulder.
Also helps with:
Dry Performance, Track
|
|
Silica
Improves traction in wet conditions by increasing flexibility of tread compound.
|
|
|
Stealth Blocks
Improve ground contact and water drainage by utilizing a seamless block and groove design.
Also helps with:
Dry Performance
|
|
CSC (Consistent Surface Contact)
Improves dry and wet handling and reduces irregular wear through tread block design.
Also helps with:
Wear Life, Dry Performance
|
|
Dual Layer Tread
Minimizes the effect of wear on wet tire performance by exposing high grip rubber as the tire wears.
|
|
|
HES (Hydro Evacuation Surface)
Improves wet traction by reducing flow resistance of water along groove walls.
|
|
|
Directional Tread Pattern
Optimizes wet and dry performance through a specific tread block orientation.
Also helps with:
Dry Performance, Track
|
|
|
Continuous Lug
Enhances snow traction and water evacuation.
Also helps with:
Winter Performance
|
|
Super EPC
Maintains wet performance as the tire wears through special compound additives that counteract the effects of heat.
|
|
|
High-Sipe Density
Improves wet, snow and ice traction by increasing the number of biting edges.
Also helps with:
Winter Performance, Ice, Snow
