Tread elements sequentially tuned for optimum reduction in noise generation. Tread groove angles designed to minimise pattern noise and Opti-Noise software used to reduce tonality, resulting in ultra-quiet high performance tyres.Performance Tread Compound: Specially formulated silica/carbon tread compound developed to optimize wet and dry grip and give exceptional handling in these conditions.Tri-sector pattern designed to disperse water from the heart of the contact patch to help prevent aquaplaning in wet weather conditions, as well as cornering stability.
