Outstanding performance on wet surfaces
Exceptional wet traction enhanced by the high groove density that quickly moves water out of the contact patch aided by silica-based tread compounds.

Comfort and quietness worthy of high performance vehicles
Enhanced comfort and reduced noise thanks to a continuous centre rib and a harmonic-tuned tread design.

Perfect handling on dry surfaces
High-performance responsiveness, precise handling and cornering provided by large, stable tread blocks. Tie bars between the tread blocks reduce movement under force, creating a more stable contact patch.

Consistent performance
Consistent handling and precise control at high speeds provided by BAZ TechnologyTM (spiral-wrapped nylon Banded At Zero Degrees to tire rotation).
