VISUAL MONITOR TECHNOLOGY: Read Your Tyre

Benefits:

• Improved Tyre Life : Ensure wheel alignment within the first 1,000km, shown by even wear on the Visual Alignment Indicator.
• Recommend Tyre Change : The rain cloud indicator disappears when the tyre is no longer recommended for driving on wet roads (3mm).
• The sun icon disappears just before the tread reaches the minimum tread depth (1.6mm).

Features:

• Visual Monitor Technology (VMT).
• Alignment indicator ; wet/dry performance indicator.

Effects:

• Indicators on the tyre remind driver when to change tyres and ensure even wheel alignment.

WET BRAKING: Outstanding Control On Wet Roads

Benefits:

• Outstanding control and braking on wet and slippery roads.

Features:

• Circumferential grooves and high number of sipes.

Effects:

• The sipes can effectively drain and push out water from the grooves, while maintaining a high contact area between the tyre and road surface.

COMFORT: Enjoy Quiet Comfort

Benefits:

• Lower noise levels and comfortable drive.

Features:

• Uniform block geometry with low stiffness variation
• Continuous sipes on tread blocks

Effects:

• Smooth tread block interaction with the surface in the contact patch and reduced noise frequencies

Benefits:

• Lower noise levels and comfortable drive.

Features:

• Closed shoulders on each side and VV concentrated on long groove to close in noise waves.

Effects:

• Disrupts air flow and breaks up noise waves for a quiet ride.

LONGEVITY: Built Tough, To Last Longer

Benefits:

• Resist cut-and-chip wear.

Features:

• Stone ejectors and stone bumpers

Effects:

• Tiny stones and gravel are not able to get stuck into the tread. The design ensures that they are pushed out and ejected from the grooves.
• Prevents the outer grooves from curling inward during braking and acceleration.

Benefits:

• Prolonged tyre life.

Features:

• Lateral cuts on the tyre.

Effects:

• Prevents the outer grooves from curling inwards during braking when the tyre experiences high friction against the road surface.
