Tread pattern:
Increases resistance to cuts, cracks, and rubber tearing.
Reduces the number and especially the depth of cuts and cracks.
Improves carcass protection by limiting surface tire damage.
Extends tire life expectancy.
The belt:
Supports high localized stresses.
Prevents ruptures due to fatigue.
Improves traction characteristics thanks to the rigidity of the structure as a whole.
Effectively protects the carcass and presents an excellent retreading capability.
The profiles:
Ensure a significantly higher mileage performance with equal wear.
Guarantee reliable grip and good handling on and off roads.
Improve self-cleaning aspect and stone retention (carcass protection).
Combine a long service life with very high traction and optimal road performance in all weather conditions.
The contour:
Offers more resistance to deformations caused by radial forces.
Reduces sidewall compressions, also in the higher load range.
Opposes premature material fatigue.
Provides greater resistance to stresses and better retreading capability.
