- R-Tech construction utilizes several design features that work in concert to provide enhanced tire performance.
- The 5 rib tread design incorporates numerous features to provide for stability, traction and treadwear.
- Coupled silica tread compound for wet traction without sacrificing tread wear. An optimized polymer matrix allows the compound to remain pliable at lower temperatures while contributing to lower rolling resistance.
- Four 'stepped' circumferential grooves resist hydroplaning at higher speeds and provide gripping edges for increased traction on soft surfaces.
- Nylon is strategically placed in a manner to resist flat spotting for improved ride quality and balanced, even treadwear for long life.
- The computer designed configuration of the tire sidewall includes an extended bead filler for improved handling response, lane change and cornering ability.
- The wide center elements provide for improved steering response and a 'road-connected' feel while contributing to increased start-up traction.
- The open shoulder design utilizes lateral slots and strategic siping to create biting edges for all-season traction, improved wet cornering performance and excellent handling in snow.
