The balanced distribution of sipes, lateral grooves and rubber bridges ensures uniform stiffness of the tread blocks. This design contributes to more even wear and increases mileage by more than 30% compared with the previous model.

This model delivers a 32% mileage improvement compared with the previous generation, promoting increased longevity and better-controlled wear.

The chamfered structure enhances braking grip by ensuring an even distribution of pressure across the road contact patch.

The tyre’s smoothed edges provide more uniform support and increase friction with the road surface, resulting in a 6% improvement in dry braking performance compared with the previous version.

The tyre geometry and construction have been optimised to ensure even pressure distribution across the entire tread. This design contributes to uniform wear and high mileage, even under heavy loads.

Increased stiffness in the direction of travel, particularly on the outer blocks, improves grip on dry roads and ensures more effective contact with the road surface.

The flat-profile sidewall increases the tyre’s rigidity when cornering, optimising grip and stability. This design ensures more precise, better-controlled driving, including at high speed.

This model offers a 7% improvement in braking on wet roads and 6% on dry roads compared with the previous generation, helping to reduce stopping distances and improve control.

The optimised drainage tread pattern controls block deformation to increase the contact area with the road. By reducing variations in support caused by concave deformation, it contributes to improved stability on wet ground.

This design delivers a 7% gain in braking on wet roads and a 4% improvement in handling on wet surfaces compared with the previous model.

The optimised design delivers a 4% improvement in wet handling compared with the previous version, for enhanced control and more precise driving on wet roads.

The optimised design of the shoulder grooves enhances braking efficiency on wet roads. The contact patch is increased, improving grip on the road.

Rubber bridges integrated into the shoulder blocks create a closed structure, helping to reduce noise during everyday driving and to provide improved acoustic comfort on a daily basis.

The Ventus Evo adopts a new tread compound enriched with dedicated performance resins, ensuring high grip, including on wet roads.

This advanced rubber formulation improves hysteresis and converts the energy produced by friction with the road surface, in order to enhance traction across various temperature conditions.
