What the latest tread patterns mean in terms of tyre performance.

Solid ribs
A. Contribute to a reduction in uneven wear by supporting individual blocks.
B. The rail-like ribs ensure straight line stability.
C. Effective in minimising noise by physically blocking its dissipation.

Hidden Tie-bars The
hidden tie-bars connecting the blocks mitigate unnecessary movement and
contribute to improved steering stability. In addition, they enhance
the stiffness of the blocks and minimise uneven wear.
3in1 multi-pitch The
shoulder blocks are grouped in threes to reduce noise by dissipating
the frequency range. The stiffness of the shoulder is also increased,
maximising stability during cornering.
Wingfoot block These
“Wingfoot” blocks, named so due to their similarity to the famous
Goodyear logo, optimises the pressure distribution within the contact
patch.
