Evaluation: " Well balanced performance on dry and wet roads."

Technical details

Reduced braking distances on both wet and dry roads.

The asymmetric tread design provides optimal ground contact and therefore shortens the braking distances on wet and dry surfaces.

Extremely good traction, particularly when cornering on wet roads.

The flexible silica compound allows a strong connection between tire and surface so that a high degree of traction can be guaranteed on wet and dry surfaces. Grip edges and incisions in the outside tire shoulder provide additional traction, especially in wet curves.

High mileage and low fuel consumption.

A bionic contour minimises tread pattern deformation when the tire is rolling, therefore lowering fuel consumption and giving the tire a longer service life.
