Technology manageability
Dynamic Response* technology features an extra layer of ultra-strong aramid nylon yarns in the tire construction that resists centripetal force and keeps the tire''s contact patch stable at ultra-high speeds.
safety
To improve grip, new generation "functional elastomers" have been used in the rubber compound, which are able to take the shape of the smallest bumps in the road surface, providing excellent grip on wet surfaces. Deep longitudinal drainage channels are responsible for the effective removal of water from the contact patch, which can reduce the risk of aquaplaning.
design
The sidewall design, created with Premium Touch*** technology, gives the tire''s outer sidewall lettering a premium ''velvet effect''.
