Key Features & Benefits

1. Surgical Steering Precision: High-stiffness tread blocks ensure immediate response to driver input, making it an ideal choice for the track and spirited mountain drives.

2. Exceptional High-Speed Stability: Reinforced with high-density filaments to prevent tire distortion under extreme centrifugal forces, keeping the car “planted.”

3. Elite Dry Braking: Specialized elastomers in the tread compound allow the tire to bite into the pavement, significantly reducing stopping distances in warm weather.

4. Optimized Wet Traction: Deep circumferential grooves and lateral siping work to evacuate water, providing confidence during sudden summer rainstorms.

5. Premium Performance Aesthetics: A sleek, low-profile sidewall design that enhances the aggressive stance of high-end sports cars and luxury sedans.
