Features & Benefits

  • Feature: Directional Tread Pattern
    Benefit: Maximizes both wet and dry performance, as well as other tire characteristics. By specifying that the tread pattern is to be mounted on the vehicle in a single direction only, the many design compromises found in conventional tires which can be mounted in two directions are eliminated. This provides the ability to include a wider variety of specific performance characteristics such as high resistance to hydroplaning in each tire.
  • Feature: L.L. Carbon (Long Link)
    Benefit: Helps improve tread wear and resist cracking, chipping and tearing through the use of a special long length carbon structure
  • Feature: Reinforced Sidewall
    Benefit: Support the weight of the vehicle and passenger even with a loss of air pressure with thicker sidewall, generally designed for RFT tires, made of special heat-resistant rubber
  • Feature: Dual-Layer Tread
    Benefit: Minimizes the effect of wear on wet tire performance by exposing high grip rubber as the tire wears.
  • Feature: Spiral Wrap
    Benefit: Encircles the whole tire with a continuous nylon wrap , helping the tire hold its original shape to improve high speed capability.
  • Feature: CO-CS (Computer Optimized Component System)
    Benefit: Maximizes tire performance by optimizing the appropriate combination of tread design, casing shape, materials, and construction.
  • Feature: All-Season Tread Design
    Benefit: Enhances year-round performance with open-slotted shoulders.
  • Feature: O-Bead
    Benefit: Improves uniformity and ride comfort through use of a single continuous strand of cable in the bead construction
  • Feature: Cooling Fin Design
    Benefit: Optimized sidewall design for enhanced run-flat performance without sacrificing ride comfort.
  • Feature: Steel belt construction
    Benefit: Adds durability and resists punctures
  • Feature: NanoPro-Tech Rubber Compound
    Benefit: Help improve snow, ice, wet and dry performance by making the tire more flexible to changes in conditions. Controls interaction between polymer, filler materials such (as carbon black and silica) and other rubber chemicals. As such, carbon gets dispersed homogeneously which reduces energy loss caused by its friction.
  • Feature: 3G Run-Flat
    Benefit: Third Generation Run-Flat Tires for use on vehicles that came with RFT as Original Equipment.

What’s this?

Other Tire Technology

Tire Technology Uni-Directional Pattern is a tread pattern design that maximizes both wet and dry performance, as well as other tire characteristics. By specifying that the tread pattern is to be mounted on the vehicle in a single direction only, the many design compromises found in conventional tires which can be mounted in two directions are eliminated. This provides the ability to include a wider variety of specific performance characteristics such as high resistance to hydroplaning in each tire.

Tire Technology Spiral Wrap Shoulder Strips are continuous nylon wraps used to reinforce the tire. Placed between the steel belts and the tread, it encircles the entire tire. Unlike the conventional wraps and layers, Spiral Wrap does not have a seam, so the tire is reinforced without having an added stress point which could alter tire shape and have a negative effect on tire performance.

Tire Technology Dual-Layer Tread was developed to ensure that tires maintain wet performance as they wear. Tires with Dual-Layer Tread have two kinds of rubber in the tread, both containing EPC. As the tire wears, a higher grip layer is exposed. This minimizes the effect of wear on worn wet tire performance and helps maintain more consistent handling. It also helps prevent the increase in noise that tends to occur as the tread wears.
