Excellent dry handling Asymmetric tread pattern with continuous ribs and multiple tread grooves for confident handling. Radiussed tread contour for a wide tread contact patch when cornering. Good wet grip Wide water channels with multiple tread grooves quickly drain water away while silica tread compound increases traction. Reduced noise Closed outer tread design blocks road noise from escaping to the vehicle interior. Lower rolling resistance Radiussed tread contour reduces rolling resistance during straight running, while still ensuring a wide footprint during cornering.
