THE SCIENCE OF INNOVATION The enhanced silica compound and innovative tread patterns ensure a perfect balance of responsiveness and fuel efficiency. INTEGRATED RIM PROTECTION
EXTENDED RIDGE CROWN PLAY
The extended rigid crown ply works together with flexible sidewalls to provide a consistent wear profile and maximise the contact area between tyre and road. The solid central block design with inner block sections works dynamically, adapting the tyre performance throughout the tread wear and the life of the tyre.
CONNECTED SHOULDER BLOCKS

Integrated rim protection ensures that the alloys don’t get damaged from everyday use. Four wide circumferential grooves work to channel water away from the contact patch for optimal traction, reducing the risk of aquaplaning, while deep outer sipes maximise water dissipation and increase traction in wet conditions.
RESPONSIVE SIDEWALLS
SOLID CENTRAL RIB DESIGN
EFFICIENT EVACUATION
ENCLOSED OUTER GROOVE
An enclosed outer groove delivers a more comfortable and quieter drive by reducing sound leakage from the side of the tyre, and the varying tread block size is randomly arranged to prevent unwanted repetitive frequencies. Finally, large interconnected shoulder blocks allow the tyre to have consistent contact with the road.

TESTING AND DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS DRY BRAKING This test involves driving a vehicle at 110km/h, then applying the brakes. The distance covered by the car between 100km/h and a complete stop is measured by ultraprecise GPS equipment.
DRY HANDLING This is where the reaction to steering input, cornering and rear axle stability are evaluated. The test also assesses how tyres react to changes in direction and pace, the amount of steering lock required and for any loss of grip to be progressive.
WET HANDLING This consists of objective and subjective tests. The objective test is a lap time of a wethandling circuit which takes into account the tyre’s ability to transfer the car’s power to the road, and the amount of control the driver has. The subjective test gives more insight into the tyre’s performance specifically focusing on the driving experience and assessing its safe, predictable handling and effortless road performance.
WET BRAKING A vehicle is driven at 110km/h onto a heavily-watered section of track, then the brakes are applied. The distance covered by the car between 110km/h and a complete stop is measured by ultra-precise GPS equipment.
LONGITUDINAL AQUAPLANING Using GPS and precision-recording equipment, aquaplaning resistance is measured when the driven front wheel speed is 15% faster than the speed the vehicle is actually travelling at. The higher the speed, the better the tyre is at preventing aquaplaning.
