These include specialized compounds designed with our proprietary "4D NANO DESIGN" new materials development technology, a new tread pattern and an advanced "High-Rigidity Structure" that reduces tread deformation.

[Product Features]
1.High Handling Stability
An advanced "High-Rigidity Structure" produces high handling stability thanks to the incorporation of a new tread pattern featuring larger blocks on the outer side as well as a full band and an edge band that together reduce tread deformation.
2.Superior Wet Grip Performance
The incorporation of a new tread pattern featuring wider main grooves produces superior drainage characteristics while our advanced new compound, developed using our proprietary "4D NANO DESIGN" new materials development technology, enhances contact with the road. These two innovations combine to achieve superior wet grip performance.
