Features and Benefits
- Advanced polymer compound for superior wet grip: A specially developed polymer compound delivers outstanding grip and braking confidence on wet road surfaces — performing particularly well in the wet conditions that New Zealand drivers encounter regularly, and significantly reducing braking distances compared to conventional compounds.
- Short Stop shoulder blocks for braking performance: Extra-stiff shoulder blocks specifically designed for braking increase the contact surface area under braking loads, enhancing stability and feedback and contributing to measurably shorter stopping distances in both wet and dry conditions.
- Wide central grooves for aquaplaning resistance: Wide circumferential central grooves efficiently channel water away from the contact patch, maintaining confident grip and dramatically reducing the risk of aquaplaning on rain-soaked roads.
- Aerodynamic profile with low heat compound for fuel efficiency: The Sport BluResponse’s aerodynamic tyre profile combined with a low heat-generating compound reduces rolling resistance by up to 30% compared to its predecessor — delivering meaningful real-world fuel savings for drivers who cover regular kilometres.
- Asymmetric tread pattern for balanced wet and dry performance: The asymmetric tread layout optimises grip and stability in both wet and dry conditions — dedicating different tread zones to water evacuation and dry cornering for confident all-conditions performance.
- High-performance drainage system: Large longitudinal and transverse grooves work together in a high-performance drainage system to rapidly evacuate water from the contact patch, maintaining traction and braking confidence even in heavy rain.
