1) Directional Tread Pattern 2) Claw Grooves 3) Wide Sword Grooves 4) Lightning-shaped Straight Grooves Directional pattern enhances water evacuation. Lightning-shaped straight groove expels water when driving on wet roads and improves drainage.
- Profile adapted from the ADVAN Sport V105 - Improvement of the steering stability by high speed range requested by European car manufacturers - Improvement of optimisation of the ground contact
Differentiating between the pitch layout for the shoulder and centre. - Increased tread pattern stiffness realises a more direct feeling of handling - Optimised ground contact area - Reduced tire noise and enhanced ride quietness
Several polymer are blended in the so-called "nanoBLEND compound". It was designed for the optimum balance of superior wet grip performance, high fuel efficiency and wear resistance.
Non-penetrating Lug Groove pattern increases the overall performance. In contrast to the main groove, the non-penetrating lug grooves increase the performance in several ways. - Suppresses popping noise for a quiter ride - Suppresses heel & toe friction, as well as noise caused by tire friction - Increases block stiffness and enhances the direct feeling and handling. - EU grading up to C/A
