Deep Groove Depth
With one of the deepest tread depths in the industry, extremely long original tread wear can be expected. Special design considerations permit firm road grip while minimizing heat generation, allowing for the full benefit of very deep tread grooves.

Stress Wear Control Groove
This specifically-positioned groove redistributes the load on the outside rib, greatly reducing the occurence of shoulder step down wear.

Contoured Bead Shape
This exclusive bead design allows the tire to seat evenly against the rim for extremely high uniformity levels around the entire circumference for better tire-to-rim fit, reduced friction, smoother ride, and long even wear.

Closed Shoulder Rib
More rubber on the outside ribs means more miles. The distinctive closed shoulder enables more rubber to road contact.

Funnel Shape Groove Wall
The optimal groove shape is wider at the top for enhanced traction, yet narrows at the bottom to prevent stones from traveling to the bottom. It increases block rigidity for added traction, enhanced resistance against uneven wear and superior ride comfort.
