Confident Handling
Our revered five-rib tread design is the perfect all-position high performer. Now enhanced with over 6,000 sipes, this premium feature provides excellent water evacuation and uniform wear. The stress control sipes are also especially effective in combating river wear.

Long Even Wear
The special contoured design of the groove walls provides added rib stiffness that further combats uneven treadwear.

Stress Wear Control Groove (SCG) reduces contact pressure at the tread edge, providing increased resistance to shoulder step down wear and enhancing long even wear, particularly at the shoulder area.

Built-in Stone Protection
Stone ejectors deep inside the tread grooves keep stones from imbedding into the tire to minimize drill damage for increased tread durability and casing life.
