Features and Benefits

Feature: All-Season Tread Design
Benefit: Enhances year-round performance with open-slotted shoulders.

Feature: Arc Shape Leading Edge
Benefit: Enhances snow and dry performance.

Feature: CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System)
Benefit: Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.

Feature: Dual-Layer Tread
Benefit: Minimizes the effect of wear on wet tire performance by exposing high grip rubber as the tire wears.

Feature: Hard sidewall filler
Benefit: Helps resist distortion at high speeds and while cornering.

Feature: L.L. Carbon (Long Link)
Benefit: Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure

Feature: Spiral Wrap
Benefit: Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability.

Feature: 3-D Sipes
Benefit: Enhance dry performance while maintaining snow, ice and wet traction.

Feature: Directional Tread Pattern
Benefit: Maximizes both wet and dry performance, as well as other tire characteristics. By specifying that the tread pattern is to be mounted on the vehicle in a single direction only, the many design compromises found in conventional tires which can be mounted in two directions are eliminated. This provides the ability to include a wider variety of specific performance characteristics such as high resistance to hydroplaning in each tire.

Feature: Hydro-Evacuation Surface (H.E.S.)
Benefit: Channels water efficiently away from the tread.

Feature: Lateral Grooves
Benefit: Efficient evacuation and channeling of water that helps reduce hydroplaning and improves wet traction
