Cutting-edge sport touring radial

• Innovative radial structure with two plies at 75 degrees (all front sizes and some rear sizes), bound by a longitudinal zero-degree crown ply. This compliant casing promotes comfort, consistent handling under varying loads, and durability.

• Versatile rubber mix with 100-percent silica reinforcing fillers, providing the ideal compromise between grip and mileage. The silica fillers replace the conventional carbon black fillers normally used to bind the rubber molecules. These silica bonds are more elastic than carbon, reducing internal friction and excessive heat, helping to combat premature tire wear.

• Sets new standards for wet grip and cold-weather performance, with impressive durability as well, thanks to the silica rubber mix. Compounds for both front and rear have been optimized to promote balanced wear on both wheels.

• Semi-elliptic profile provides progressive, stable handling on highways or backroads. The tread pattern has been designed for superb traction in wet weather while providing even wear patterns.

• Progressively tapered grooves channel water away from the contact patch. Meanwhile, a semi-slick tread pattern at the shoulder combines wet traction with reassuring feedback on dry roads.
