The tire features a highly siped directional tread pattern with broad shoulder blocks and a wide central groove, supported by two high-strength steel belts reinforced with a polyamide cap ply for handling responsiveness and high-speed durability. A specialized undertread minimizes rolling resistance to aid fuel economy, while the two-ply polyester casing balances comfort and durability.
