Technologies

Dual Layer Tread

Minimizes the effect of wear on wet tire performance by exposing high grip rubber as the tire wears.
HES (Hydro Evacuation Surface)

Improves wet traction by reducing flow resistance of water along groove walls.
High Angle Grooves

Improves drainage of excess water from the rib area into main groove for hydroplaning resistance.
High Sipe Density

Improves wet, snow and ice traction by increasing the number of biting edges.

Also helps with:
- Winter Performance

Technologies

Key Hole Sipes

Improve wet traction by exposing wider sipes as the tire wears.
NanoPro-Tech

Optimizes performance characteristics by controlling the interaction between polymer, filler materials and other rubber chemicals at the molecular level.

Also helps with:
Open Shoulder Tread Design

Helps evacuate water and improves wet traction and handling.
Pinhole Sipes

Help to drain surface water.

Technologies

Protruding 3-D Sub-Surface Platform

Improves deep snow performance by providing additional biting edges.

Also helps with:
- Winter Performance
Semi-Stealth Blocks

Promotes higher tread stiffness for improved handling while enhancing water evacuation.

Also helps with:
- Dry Performance
Silica

Improves traction in wet conditions by increasing flexibility of tread compound.
Stealth Blocks

Improves ground contact and water drainage by utilizing a seamless block and groove design.

Also helps with:
- Dry Performance
