Revolutionary New technology that offers a level of grip, confidence, mileage and dynamics never known before in the sport-touring radial market. Features Continuous Compound Technology - this is the use of a single compound with a temperature-controlled curing process that delivers the benefits of a multi-compound tire: a wear-resistant center tread area for high mileage, increased shoulder tread area for improved grip, and a continuous transition from the center of the tire to the shoulder area for smooth, predictable performance. Black Chili compound for quick warm-up, short braking distance and excellent grip on wet and dry roads. Traction Skin, the revolutionary New micro-roughness of the tread, optimizes the mechanical adhesion and offers the fastest break-in period in the market. Features DynamicRideTechnology, a patented steel belt construction with a unique contour to improve overall handling and control. Tubeless. (W)-rated for speeds over 168 mph.
