  • The variable pitch shoulder blocks reduce road noise throughout the life of the tire;
  • Advanced design technology and balanced tread compound achieve the ideal blend of all-season traction and high mileage performance;
  • ESCOT Technology improves steering response and increases tread life by optimizing cord tension distribution in the sidewall.
